Why are you running?
"This question is what most people ask me when they first find out I’m running. I am raising my young family in Port Coquitlam and believe there is a need for that voice on PoCo’s council. I believe municipal government has more impact on our daily lives than at the provincial and/or federal levels. I want to be part of the decision-making process that affects the lives of Port Coquitlam residents. I believe my calm demeanour; as well as my approachability, are key assets in regards to representing Port Coquitlam residents. I want to hear your ideas and help them become realities."
What’s your No. 1 issue and why?
"I want to be involved in helping find short-term and long-term solutions with complex issues such as affordability and climate change. I am lucky enough to both live and work in our beautiful city. I want to continue my previous work with the BIA and support Port Coquitlam business leaders to continue to grow our local economy. I want to be the residents’ voice, I will communicate clearly and honestly."
