Priorities

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 and car entries 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.

    -For years, residents near GFL have been ignored. That ends now. The City has finally launched a legal challenge after years of inaction, and I will fight every step of the way to ensure our community is aggressively represented in court. My goal is clear: obtain a court injunction, shut down GFL, and protect our residents, our neighbourhoods, and our future.

    -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 24/7.

  • 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%.

    -Property Taxes adjusted to inflation. Max increase of 3% per year.

    -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!
