What experience or background do you bring to the table?
I bring 10 years of public service experience to the table, including my service as a volunteer firefighter with Rosemont Fire and four years as a councillor in Mulmur. During my time on council, I have gained valuable experience in decision-making, delivering community services, and supporting a wide range of community events and initiatives. I believe my knowledge of environmental sustainability, commitment to fiscal responsibility and passion for community recreation would allow me to continue making a meaningful contribution to the growth, prosperity and success of Mulmur.
What is an important issue affecting your community, and where do you stand on it?
Small communities need to grow and invest in infrastructure, recreation, roads, parks and other services, but they also need to be mindful of the financial impact on residents. My stance is to continue to support responsible, sustainable growth while ensuring that municipal spending provides clear value to the community. I would continue to prioritize essential infrastructure and services, seek opportunities for grants and partnerships, and support investments that improve quality of life without placing an unnecessary burden on the taxpayers of Mulmur.
Why should voters elect you?
I will continue to listen to residents, work collaboratively and make decisions with the long-term interests of our community in mind. I have the experience, knowledge and commitment to help Mulmur continue to grow while preserving the qualities that make it a great place to live.
