1. What ward are you running in and why are you running for Mississauga City Council?
Ward 11. With the retirement of Councillor George Carlson I am running because I believe I have the experience, knowledge and dedication to effectively represent the community.

2. What makes you stand out over other candidates?
My background in community and public service for close to 40 years in Mississauga and knowledge of how City Hall works makes me the best candidate.

3. What are your top 3 campaign priorities?
Keeping property taxes down, protecting and enhancing core municipal services and ensuring full consultation on development projects in the community.

4. If you could change one thing about Mississauga's zoning laws, what would it be?
I would toughen up the noise by-law and ensure it is enforced.

5. How do you plan to actively involve and include residents in decisions?
I will always have public meetings on development applications and plan for regular Zoom-call type meetings with residents to seek input and feedback.

6. What budget item is the most important to your ward?
Community safety through policing and by-law enforcement.

7. What are three of your favourite aspects of Mississauga?
Mississauga is a welcoming, caring and compassionate community where diversity is our strength. Mississauga offers a great life for seniors, families and children and is a great place to live, work and play.

8. How will you be supporting our local businesses if elected?
I have a long history of work with the Streetsville BIA and the Mississauga Board of Trade. I will continue to support and advocate for business and protect employment lands in the city.

9. What does Mississauga currently excel at?
Value for money. Mississauga is a well run city and we need to continue that balance of providing services and keeping taxes down.

10. How would you communicate with residents and what communication standards can voters expect?
I will continue with a regular mailed newsletter as well as e-newsletters and active social media. Regular Zoom-call meetings will also be held throughout the year.
