My Record

There are two ways to judge a candidate. One is by what they promise during an election. The other is by what they were willing to do before they needed your vote.

Over the last four years, I have attended Council meetings, Regional Council meetings, budget meetings, committee meetings, public consultations and community events. I have made deputations, challenged spending decisions, reviewed public reports, advocated for residents, met with City and Regional staff, and spoken publicly on issues affecting Ward 7 and Mississauga.

That is only the part that is easy to show on a website.

Thousands of hours have also gone into reading budgets, staff reports, financial statements and project documents, checking numbers and asking whether the spending actually makes sense.

I have met and worked with MPs, MPPs, councillors, City and Regional staff, community organizations, and thousands of residents and business owners to understand problems, challenge assumptions and work toward practical solutions.

Those efforts have helped challenge, change, delay or avoid millions of dollars in proposed public spending when the numbers, business case or public benefit did not yet make sense. Where spending was necessary, the goal was simple: make sure taxpayers could see the need, the cost and the result.

If I tried to list every meeting, every report reviewed, every conversation and every hour spent doing this work, this page would never end.

So what follows is not the complete record. It is a sample of it.
