“I am running to be Lord Mayor of Niagara-on-the-Lake as I care deeply about the past, present and future of our community. I will bring our community together and ensure we move forward with a shared sense of purpose. By bringing people together and drawing on our collective strengths, we can build a future that respects and protects our heritage and agricultural lands, while embracing new services and opportunities for residents and businesses alike. It is also critical at a time when only mayors will sit on Regional Council, to have someone in this role who already understands how to navigate that responsibility. My experience at the Region has prepared me to advocate effectively for Niagara-on-the-Lake. I will be ready on day one to leverage my knowledge and established relationships for the benefit of our entire community. Niagara-on-the-Lake is a place defined by its history, its people, and its potential, and I will respect our past, lead today, and help shape tomorrow.“
