March 2026:

In February 2025, I made the decision that I would not seek re-election. In the time I’ve been on Council, I’ve accomplished every single item on which I campaigned, and I decided it was time to move onto other things.

This website, primarily the Blog, is now for communicating as clearly as possible about what’s happening at the Region and in Niagara about governance reform.

October 2022:

Thank you, St. Catharines voters, for putting your trust and confidence in me to represent you at Regional Council for another term.

Over the course of this next term, I will work on many things, including a focus on:

• Niagara Poverty Reduction Strategy;
• Niagara Regional Police Services Board;
• diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility;
• modernizing local politics;
• affordable housing;
• transit;
• appropriate funding for Public Health initiatives; and

I will do it all with the transparency and accountability that you’ve come to expect from me; that should be expected of all of our elected officials.
