1. Responsive Leadership
- Put the community first by listening and bringing concerns directly to City Hall.
- Hold regular town halls and open office hours so residents always have a voice.
- Ensure transparency, accountability, and accessibility in decisions the impact our communities.
2. Repeal Blanket Rezoning
- Replace one-size-fits-all rezoning with thoughtful, community-driven planning that respects neighbourhood character.
- Protect single-family communities and greenspaces while allowing responsible, locally supported growth.
- Put decision-making back into the hands of Calgarians, not bureaucrats at City Hall.
3. Reliable Infrastructure
- Maintain and upgrade roads, utilities, and essential services to keep communities connected.
- Prioritize repairs and maintenance before costly new vanity projects.
- Ensure public transit is safe, reliable, and serves the real needs of Ward 1 families and seniors.
- Build bicycle lanes where they make sense—like the Bow River pathway system—not where parking and traffic lanes are sacrificed for bike lanes that are rarely used.
4. Four-Year Tax Freeze
- Deliver affordability for families and businesses by holding the line on property taxes.
- Stop wasteful City Hall spending and focus dollars on core priorities.
- Support small businesses with predictable taxes so they can invest and hire locally.
5. Buy Calgary Economy
- Support Calgary-made goods and services to keep jobs and investment here.
- Prioritize trusted local contractors for city projects to strengthen neighbourhood businesses.
- Champion Calgary’s entrepreneurial spirit that built our city.
6. Public Safety
- Invest in frontline policing to keep transit and inner-city communities safe.
- Support community policing and visible presence in our neighbourhoods.
- Ensure first responders have the resources needed to protect Calgarians.
7. Repeal the $87 Billion Climate Change Emergency
- End costly ideological experiments at City Hall.
- Refocus resources on local priorities that matter most: safe streets, strong infrastructure, and affordability.
- Advance practical environmental stewardship rooted in common sense, not global politics.
“I'm ready to be your bridge between Ward 1 and City Hall.”
