My Priorities
for Cambridge
Build the Cambridge
We Deserve
A Cambridge for Everyone.
Practical solutions. Responsible leadership.
Measurable results.
Five priorities. One commitment
— to put Cambridge residents first.
Cambridge
Deserves Better
Cambridge is a remarkable city. We have extraordinary people, thriving businesses, vibrant neighbourhoods, and unlimited potential.
Yet too often, our residents pay more and receive less.
We contribute significantly to the Region of Waterloo — but we don't always see it returned in investment, infrastructure, services, and opportunities. Cambridge deserves its fair share, not only of the taxes collected, but of the opportunities created.
“It's time for stronger representation, responsible leadership, and better results.”
As your Regional Councillor, I'll be an independent voice focused on people, not politics. I'll fight for responsible financial stewardship, greater transparency, stronger partnerships, and practical solutions that improve the quality of life for every resident.
Together, we can build a Cambridge that is more affordable, more connected, safer, economically stronger, and better prepared for future generations.

Build a stronger community where everyone can thrive.
01
Taxpayers deserve to know where every dollar goes — and what value it delivers.
I will work to:
Keep property tax increases at or below the rate of inflation whenever practical
Improve transparency in Regional budgets and spending decisions
Require every major project to demonstrate measurable value before taxpayer dollars are committed
Eliminate unnecessary spending, duplication, and bureaucracy
Hold Regional programs accountable through measurable performance and results
Make responsible, evidence-based financial decisions that deliver the greatest possible value for Cambridge residents
Every budget line should be defensible. Every dollar should be accounted for.
Follow the Money
Demand accountability. Increase transparency. Eliminate waste.
02
Government should get the basics right before expanding into costly new initiatives.
I will advocate for:
More attainable housing for families, seniors, and young professionals
Safe neighbourhoods through strong support for public safety
Reliable, accessible, and efficient public transit
Well-maintained roads, bridges, sidewalks, cycling infrastructure, and essential utilities
Responsible growth supported by infrastructure that keeps pace with development
Efficient delivery of the Regional services residents rely on — putting their priorities ahead of political agendas
The basics aren't glamorous. But they're what people actually live with every day.
Get Priorities in Check
Focus on the services residents depend on every day.
03
Cambridge deserves fair representation and fair investment from every Regional tax dollar we contribute.
I will advocate for:
A fair allocation of Regional funding based on Cambridge's population, growth, and future needs
Expanded GO Transit service and improved regional transportation connections
Greater investment in healthcare services and stronger support for Cambridge Memorial Hospital
Strong support for Waterloo Regional Police Service resources that keep our neighbourhoods safe
Increased investment in roads, water, wastewater, and Regional infrastructure
More parks, recreation, sports, and community facilities — including support for cricket and other growing community sports
Getting our fair share means building strong partnerships with every level of government — and being willing to negotiate hard for Cambridge at the Regional table.
Renegotiate & Right-Size
Secure Cambridge's fair share.
04
Families cannot continue carrying the entire cost of every major project through higher property taxes.
I will work to:
Attract more provincial and federal infrastructure funding to Cambridge
Pursue grants and partnerships that reduce pressure on local taxpayers
Support responsible commercial and industrial growth that broadens the tax base
Encourage investment that creates quality local jobs
Reduce unnecessary costs through smarter planning and responsible financial management
Advocate for infrastructure investments that improve quality of life while protecting affordability
The goal is straightforward — make Cambridge one of the most affordable and competitive communities in Ontario.
Improve Affordability
Make government work smarter while growing opportunity.
05
A successful city leaves no one behind.
I will support:
Seniors — through better accessibility, transportation, healthcare advocacy, recreation, and community connections
Children and youth — through education, skills training, sports, arts, leadership, and recreation opportunities
Families — by advocating for attainable housing, safer neighbourhoods, and stronger community services
Workers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses — by supporting workforce development, job creation, innovation, and investment, and by reducing unnecessary barriers
Neighbours facing hardship — through compassionate, coordinated solutions for homelessness, mental health, and addiction
Inclusive communities — where every resident feels respected, valued, and heard, and where growth creates opportunity for future generations
This is the priority the others exist to serve — and it's the promise on every one of our signs.
A Cambridge for Everyone
Building a stronger community where everyone can thrive.
“Every resident matters. Every neighbourhood matters. Every voice matters”
My Commitment to You
A platform is a list of intentions. This is how I'll work.
As your Regional
Councillor, I will:
Listen before making decisions — because the people closest to a problem usually understand it best
Lead with integrity, transparency, and accountability — in every vote, every budget, and every conversation
Advocate fearlessly for Cambridge's interests — even when it means being the difficult voice at the table
Collaborate to build practical solutions — with every level of government, and with anyone willing to work for Cambridge
Deliver measurable results for taxpayers — and be accountable for them
“Leadership is not measured by promises.Leadership is measured by results.”
Together, Let's Build the
Cambridge We Deserve
This platform isn't a wish list. It's a work plan — built on thirty years of getting things done, and twenty-six years of listening to this community.
But no councillor delivers any of it alone. It takes residents who show up, speak up, and stay involved between elections, not just during them.
If these priorities reflect what you want for Cambridge, I'd be grateful for your support.
