Candidate for Ottawa City Council · Somerset Ward 14
I’m running to make representation more transparent, more practical, and easier to hold to account—decision by decision, result by result.
Municipal government touches the street outside your home, the bus you wait for, the services you rely on, and the neighbourhood you build a life in. You should not need to be an insider to understand what your councillor is doing about it.
My commitment is straightforward: make the work visible. I will document the concerns I hear, explain the choices before Council, publish the reasoning behind major decisions, and return to the record to show what those decisions actually accomplished.
The full issue platform is being developed with residents. These are the governing commitments that will shape every position.
Residents should be able to see the evidence, alternatives, trade-offs, vote, and result—not just the announcement.
Plans need owners, costs, targets, and deadlines. Public reporting should tell us what changed, not simply what was promised.
Good ideas should survive disagreement. Residents deserve clear answers, respectful debate, and a councillor willing to explain when the evidence changes.
This campaign starts with conversation
