In their own words

Verbatim, attributed, dated. Every passage below is copied exactly from an archived copy of its source — a campaign website, a news article, or the candidate's own social media post — and links to it. Nothing is paraphrased by this site and no for-or-against label is applied: read the words, follow the link. Passages from news coverage say whether they are the candidate quoted, the reporter's reported speech, or the reporter's characterisation.

Compiled in a research batch dated September 11, 2026, reviewed by hand before publication on October 8, 2026.

Passages are capped at 60 words and listed newest first; undated campaign pages show and sort by the date archived. A candidate with nothing located on an issue is listed as such, with the date their sources were checked; a race is shown only once every candidate in it has been checked. See methodology.

Jobs

More jobs mean more income for Barrie, more infrastructure and more resources. I support Mayor Nuttall’s efforts to build a stronger economy.

Snow clearing

A truly great city excels at the basics. That’s why I will work to make sure snow is cleared properly, potholes are filled and the city’s basic services are delivered at the level residents expect.

As I continue speaking with people across the ward, I’ve heard that traffic safety, particularly around our schools, is a major concern for our community. Through my experience as a prosecutor, I can effectively champion the installation of red-light cameras around our schools to help keep our kids safe.

It may seem old-fashioned, but I believe in the importance of communication. I respond to e-mails and phone calls – I’ve done so throughout the campaign, in my professional life and I will continue to do so as our councillor.

My job on council would be to bring residents’ concerns forward and make sure they’re heard. As far as I’m concerned, if I’m elected, the residents of Ward 3 would be my bosses.
