Why I’m Running for Mayor

I want to be your mayor because Waterloo needs accountable leadership that puts residents first. I’m raising my family here & I want the next generation to build their futures in Waterloo. We need a community that is affordable, welcoming & full of opportunity.

In 2022, I came within 331 votes of becoming your mayor. Since then, taxes have risen dramatically, services have stalled & major decisions have moved forward without meaningful consultation.

I'm in this for you.
