My Approach

Medicine Hat is a beautiful city

Elections tend to highlight only the problems in our community. We shouldn’t forget all the good things our city has to offer and to appreciate. ​As mayor I'd bring a balanced perspective, reasoned communication, shared responsibility and strategic focus.

Balanced perspective

There are always things we can​ improve on, but the core services City Hall provides, and the​ staff (people) who provide them, are in good shape and give us a solid foundation to build from.

Reasoned communication

My detailed positions are​ written in over 80 web articles on city issues. This next council team ​must make decisions on the future, balancing adaptation with stability.

​Shared responsibility

We don’t vote for a​ new council, then passively wait for them to fix everything. We need to work together, constructively and purposefully. 

​Strategic focus

My priorities are Affordability, Balance and Cooperation. But mayors don’t make decisions on their own. The new council team must choose priorities together, then work with staff and the public on solutions.
