Emotions of Door Knocking and Homelessness

Today I was knocking on doors. I've experienced many emotions while talking to people. I've laughed, been curious, felt awkward, gotten frustrated on others' behalf. I've also got excited too many times to count. But today I was in for the last emotion I expected: I found myself crying as I walked down a driveway.

Strategic Priorities

THE SHORT VERSION: A strategic plan lays out Council’s vision and goals for its term. Four strategic focus areas I think our next Council should consider adopting are: Connecting Our Community, Working as a Region, Citizen Service, and Growing For the Future

Taxes

I hear from a lot of people that they are concerned about taxes. I am too- I have a young family and I own a house, so taxes certainly affect me. I’ve also spent my entire career learning the responsibility that comes with being trusted to administer others’ resources. If elected, making sure that taxes are reasonable and return good value would be one of my top priorities.

Throughout this post I will explain the thought processes I would use when considering spending decisions. I hope I will be one of the people you decide to trust with your tax dollars. I want to be part of a Council which works hard towards no tax increases.

Multi-Family Housing

We have all heard or experienced stories of being unable to find a place to live, or of living next door to a house with six people and a dozen vehicles. In part, these challenges are related to what type of housing is available. Recently, Council changed bylaws surrounding the development of multi-family housing. This is an issue that needs to be revisited, especially if we are heading into a time of growth.
