Why are you running for public office?
"I have over 30 years of working in senior management in local government and feel I can add experience and focus to the community planning and policy discussions that this council will have to address."
What is your No. 1 issue and why?
"The issues facing municipalities cannot be reduced to “one issue.” Development pace and density, housing affordability, transportation, urban parks capacity, local employment, financial sustainability and climate action are all important, complex and interconnected. If I was to reduce it to one issue, it would be maintaining and improving quality of life for current and future residents in Port Moody. The Official Community Plan can spell out the community’s vision for dealing with these issues and therefore I want to make sure that the current process of completing the review of our OCP is our number one priority."
