Why I'm Running

A Leader Bradford Residents Deserve

I have called Bradford home since 2019, but my connection runs much deeper. For over 30 years my friends and family have lived here and I have built real relationships through customer service and client work in our local business community. Like so many of you, I chose Bradford to get away from big city traffic, noise, and congestion. I wanted a safe, small town with big town amenities where my children could grow up happy and healthy.

The Plan

A Plan for Bradford

Seven priorities to protect our small-town feel, deliver real results, and put the families who live here first.

01

Simcoe County Regional Governance

Explore independence from the County, lower waste costs, and protect seniors and local services.

02

Family & Community Events

A family-first standard for every decision, youth leadership, and new food & music festivals.

03

Transparency & Accountability

Meaningful consultation with residents, hand back Strong Mayor powers, and a new CAO and Integrity Commissioner.

04

Safety & Protection

Safer school zones and streets, strong support for police and fire, and the Line 8 redesign.

05

Financial Responsibility

Fight rising property taxes by forcing County spending down, grow the commercial and industrial tax base, and cut what doesn't deliver.

06

Recreation & Leisure

Turf fields, new parks, rinks and dog parks, and stronger environmental protection.

07

Growth & Infrastructure

Protect farmland, right-sized housing growth, a developer-funded parking garage, and real transit.
