Why are you running for office?
Because of a genuine interest in the future of our town and the need to make our town all it is capable of and can be.

What do you think is the biggest challenge facing Rainy River?
Economic growth and stability (not only in Rainy River but in neighbouring areas as well). The need to upgrade/replace facilities and infrastructure which are outdated and ineffective in the face of declining revenues.

If elected what do you plan to do about it?
Strive diligently in lobbying and pressing government for financial assistance to pursue and capture economic development opportunities.

Do you have a plan or platform you are running on?
This is our town. Progress will happen only if we make it happen. There are many doing much. But the town needs all who are capable; to think positively about our future; to get involved; and to help take our town forward. Council and administration are few and need support and assistance. We need to be involved!
