Would you describe your values as more liberal, conservative, or a mix of both?
I believe in freedom, fairness, and common sense. Government should focus on the basics—running efficiently, being transparent, and staying out of people’s lives as much as possible. I believe in personal responsibility, helping others when we can, and giving everyone a fair chance to succeed. I support practical solutions over politics, innovation over red tape, and protecting our community and environment through balance and accountability. I think people know what’s best for their own lives, and government should make that easier—not harder.
People have called me a "small-c conservative", "slightly right of center", "populist", "libertarian", and "moderate"—but none of that has anything to do with non-partisan municipal government. I’ve said since 2020, after running for a Federal Party, that political parties in Canada—federal, provincial, and certainly municipal—should be abolished. Elected representatives should serve the people who put them there, not a party or its agenda.
