Issues & Platform
A Plan for Sarnia
Three clear priorities. Real commitments. A roadmap to deliver for every family in Sarnia.
What I stand for
Sarnia is a city full of potential. But potential only becomes progress when we have leadership that's focused, accountable, and willing to do the hard work. Here's exactly what I'll fight for on City Council.
Economic Growth & Local Jobs
Attracting new investment, supporting local businesses, and creating good-paying jobs so Sarnia families can build their futures right here at home.
Bring the Waterfront, Germain and Canatara Master Plans to fruition
Support Tourism as a secondary industry
Partner with Lambton College and local employers to develop skilled trades pipelines
Streamline business permitting to reduce red tape for entrepreneurs
Advocate for downtown revitalization and a vibrant, walkable core
Community Investment
Investing in the neighbourhoods, parks, and services that make Sarnia a great place to raise a family — because strong communities are the foundation of a strong city.
Invest responsibly in roads and infrastructure
Safe parks, trails and neighbourhoods
Affordable and supportive housing plan that works for everyone
Improve transit options for seniors, youth, and working families
Protect and expand Sarnia's green spaces and waterfront access
Accountable Leadership
Transparent decision-making, open communication, and a council that truly represents the people of Sarnia — not special interests.
Hold regular community town halls in every ward
Publish clear, plain-language budget summaries
Respond to every constituent inquiry within 48 hours
Declare all conflicts of interest and vote accordingly
Support an independent integrity commissioner with real authority
"I won't just show up to meetings. I'll show up for you."
