1. What ward are you running in and why are you running for Mississauga City Council?
I am running in Ward 9. I have run twice before in 2010 and 2014. I am running because in matters. It matters that we have elected representatives that live in and understand the community.

2. What makes you stand out over other candidates?
I have the Business, Political, and Community Experience. I can read a balance sheet and have lead major organizations. We need common sense at City Hall. I will bring that fresh perspective.

3. What are your top 3 campaign priorities?
I would freeze Councillor's salaries for 4 years and get a handle on our finances. Crime. We need to stand up and take concrete action to curb crime. Respectable Representation. Respect residents.

4. If you could change one thing about Mississauga's zoning laws, what would it be?
Good Question. We need to look at graduated zoning to permit more medium to high density options.

5. How do you plan to actively involve and include residents in decisions?
Simple. I believe in Direct Democracy. What Matters to you Matters to me. I will call you back!

6. What budget item is the most important to your ward?
The Budget needs to be looked at in it's entire context, but we need more resources to fight crime.

7. What are three of your favourite aspects of Mississauga?
It is a family friendly city, diverse and has so much potential. The Parks and Recreation Facilities are fantastic. The pathways and green spaces are truly fantastic.

8. How will you be supporting our local businesses if elected?
Great Question. My wife and I operated Lucy's Seafood Kitchen for 20 years. I understand small business and would set up a Small Business Task Force to tackle numerous issues.

9. What does Mississauga currently excel at?
Spending Money. Yes I am being sarcastic. Why are we the Second Most Expensive City in North America to live in? We must get a handle on our finances and quickly! I have no experience wasting money!

10. How would you communicate with residents and what communication standards can voters expect?
Being in the Hospitality Industry for 35 years taught me how to treat people and treat customers. I will treat residents like customers. Return their call and truly listen.
