Commitment
My Commitment to Residents of Bedford – WentworthIf re-elected as your representative on Regional Council, can you expect more of the same? Yes!
Communication
Almost daily communication by social media on issues, programs, opportunities, and events. Plus, updated via email and periodic newsletters.
Fast Responses
The same fast responses to your calls, emails, texts, and questions and comments on social media. My phone and email have only been turned off for 1 week during the last 12 years!
Polls & Questionnaires
Periodic polls and questionnaires, as part of my due diligence process on significant issues, opportunities, spending, or policy reform.
Fiscal Responsibility
My track record of fiscal responsibility when it comes to budgets and to spending. During my time on Council we have paid down debt, had modest or no annual tax increases, and have continued to contribute to our capital projects and emergency reserves.
Fiscal Responsibility II
My fiscal responsibility also applies to my HRM expenses. I have submitted only one Expense Claim during my 12 years on Regional Council. This was for a conference in 2019. I have never submitted an Expense Claim for mileage, gas, parking, meals, taxi fare, entertaining, etc.
Supporting What's Important to You
My ongoing personal and councillor support for the issues and groups that are important to you! This means how I vote in Council on issues, but also financial and time contributions in support of community events, school events, sports teams, heritage groups, seniors groups, youth groups, affordable housing initiatives, food security programs, diversity, equity and inclusion improvements, environmental initiatives, improved safety, and our neighbourhood associations. These are the groups, events and opportunities that make a huge difference in Bedford–Wentworth and HRM!
