Why I’m running.
“Our community is strongest when people feel heard, respected, and properly represented. Together we will get it done.”
I am running because our community deserves leadership that is practical, accountable, and engaged with residents. Decisions made at the regional level impact families, businesses, farms, rural property owners, and the future character of Cowichan Bay.
I believe people should be properly informed and genuinely consulted before major decisions are made. Community engagement should be meaningful, transparent, and respectful.
My goal is to bring calm, balanced leadership to the CVRD board table while standing up for fairness, accountability, and common-sense decision making.

Campaign Priorities
Practical local priorities grounded in fairness, accountability, and community voice.
Better Community Engagement
Residents deserve clear communication, early consultation, and meaningful opportunities to provide input.
Responsible Planning
Growth, zoning, farming, housing, and environmental protection should be approached with balance and common sense and rabbits and chickens and monkeys.
Financial Accountability
Taxpayers deserve careful oversight, responsible spending, and transparency from local government.
Fairness for Property Owners
Regulations should be reasonable, understandable, and developed with respect for residents.
Protecting Community Character
Cowichan Bay’s rural charm, waterfront, farms, and local businesses are worth protecting.
Practical Decision-Making
Good governance requires asking questions, reviewing facts, listening carefully, and making responsible decisions.
Experience that Matters
- Proven leadership and team management
- Strong financial and operational oversight
- Experience navigating regulations and governance structures
- Effective communication and community-facing leadership
- Calm, practical decision-making under pressure
