My Commitment to Ward 9:

Safer streets, Affordable living, a stronger Stoney Creek

RESTORE SAFETY‍ ‍ to our streets by advocating for more police presence in Ward 9 (presently only 2 officers are assigned for all of Ward 9 at night) and cracking down on dangerous and reckless driving.
-More officers on patrol in Ward 9 especially at night.
-Stop the proliferation of car thefts in our community.
-Listen to our resident’s complaints about safety and act on it.
-Provide Police the resources and locations of public complaints for targeted enforcement. ( Speeding - Ebikes - Dangerous Driving)
-Identify high-risk intersections, stop signs, and roadways, and take immediate action to improve safety through enhanced enforcement.

AS YOUR COUNCILLOR, I will use every financial and political tool available to severely limit or shut down the GFL Dump.
-Residents near GFL deserve better. After years of inaction, the City must take a stand, launch its own legal challenge, and hold GFL accountable for its impact on our community. Immediately!
-The community was promised a public school which has since been cancelled. I will work hard and persistently to ensure the school is built for our children.
-Constant monitoring of the odours and make sure ALL regulations are followed by GFL.

FIX WHAT’S BROKEN by accelerating road repairs and safety measures in making our streets safer and more reliable for families and drivers.
-New road surfacing, refreshed pavement markings, and traffic-calming measures (speed humps)to reduce speeding where appropriate.
-Rumble strips at every stop sign to ensure driver compliance.
-Improve winter maintenance, pothole repairs, and road-edge maintenance.
-Improve sidewalks, cycling infrastructure, and trail connections.
-Efficient snow removal on our streets

DRIVE REAL GROWTH by bringing in responsible private investment to build the housing and jobs our community desperately needs.
-Reduce the bureaucracy and increase the City’s ability to approve projects quickly to attract new investment and employment.
-Attract investment to Ward 9 in building much needed housing for our residents and business investment for local jobs.
-Work to ensure businesses hire local residents and youth. Youth unemployment is at 24%.

STAND UP FOR TAXPAYERS every single day by fighting the out of control spending and keeping property taxes from spiraling out of control as they have over the last 4 years! Property Taxes Up 22% since 2023. Water Rates up by 33%
-Financial audit of all city departments to drastically reduce waste.
-Bring Ward 9's property tax dollars back to Ward 9, where they belong, instead of continuing to prioritize downtown projects.
-Prioritize essential infrastructure projects and stop overspending that leads to higher taxes.
-Scrap the Rain Tax and Vacant Unit Tax.
-Enforce the City’s hiring freeze with zero new hires.
-Create a discount in Property Taxes for seniors on limited income to help cover maintenance costs for their residences.

With 26 years in law enforcement and leadership, I have spent my career solving problems under pressure, managing a team, and protecting communities. My single goal is to make Ward 9 the safest and most affordable Ward in Hamilton!
