Where they stand, theme by theme [8 themes]

For each theme: what the candidate answered, what their own website says, and what the council record shows if they have sat on Council. The three are set beside each other and left there. Nothing is scored, and no conclusion is drawn on the reader's behalf.

Where their own site speaks to one of these questions the sentence is quoted under that question. Everything else it says is set out in From their site.

Growth & the New Official Plan

Do you support the Official Plan as adopted? If not, what specifically would you seek to change?

Yes, I support the Official Plan as adopted. Milton is growing, and we need a plan that makes room for homes while protecting what makes this community special. My focus is making sure roads, transit, parks and community services keep pace. I will listen to residents, use the planning evidence and push for the infrastructure growth requires.

Where in your ward do you believe higher density belongs — and where doesn't it?

I support more density near the GO station, downtown and planned transit corridors, including appropriate sites along Regional Road 25. New buildings should fit their surroundings and come with safe roads, transit, parks and services. I also want to protect established neighbourhoods from abrupt change, and protect rural Milton, the Greenbelt, the Escarpment and natural areas from avoidable development.

When a development application conflicts with community opposition but complies with the Official Plan, how do you decide?

I would listen to residents and look carefully at both the planning evidence and the likely effects on the neighbourhood. Official Plan compliance matters, but I would still ask about traffic, safety, servicing, design and what can be improved. If the application meets the rules and impacts can be addressed, I would explain that clearly. If there are sound planning reasons to oppose it or seek changes, I would act on them.

Housing Supply & Affordability

Milton is hitting its housing targets. Is that the right target, too low, or too fast?

Milton needs more homes, but residents are right to question the pace when roads, transit and services are not keeping up. I do not think the answer is to stop building. The Town should plan where and how growth happens and keep pressing the Region and Province for roads, transit, schools, health care and community spaces alongside it.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

What is one concrete action council can take to improve attainability for first-time buyers and renters, not just supply volume?

I would ask staff to identify Town-owned land that could be used with a non-profit or private partner for mixed-income housing, including purpose-built rentals and smaller homes for first-time buyers. Any partnership should include clear affordability terms. The Town can also keep making it easier to add legal secondary suites, so existing homes can offer more options.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

Should Milton use tools like inclusionary zoning, pre-zoning around transit, or reduced parking minimums? Which, and where?

Yes, these tools should be used where they fit. Pre-zoning near GO and transit can add certainty and homes where people have more travel options. Parking requirements should reflect transit, local services, accessibility and residents’ needs. Inclusionary zoning is worth pursuing where the rules allow it and where the numbers show affordable units can actually be delivered.

Transit & Transportation

What, specifically, can a Milton council member do to advance all-day two-way GO service beyond passing motions?

Council can use its relationships and public voice to keep pressure on the governments and agency responsible. I would work with neighbouring municipalities and Halton to meet regularly with Metrolinx, the Province, our MP and MPP, and press for a public schedule toward two-way all-day GO by 2031. I would ask for regular progress updates residents can track, not just another motion.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

Would you support increasing Milton Transit's budget and service hours, and how would you pay for it?

Yes. I would support a gradual expansion of service, especially in the evenings and on weekends, with better connections from growing areas to GO. The Town already has a five-year transit plan, and Council should track service gaps and progress each year. We should pursue transit grants, use growth-related funding for eligible capital costs and collect fares. I would bring operating costs to Council openly and phase improvements in responsibly.

What is the single worst traffic pinch point in your ward, and what is your fix?

The Derry–Britannia corridor is the single pinch point I would prioritize in Ward 4. I would work with Halton Region to review traffic volumes, signal timing, turning movements and safe crossings, then publish a corridor plan with short- and longer-term fixes. New development should be assessed against its cumulative effect on the corridor, not one application at a time.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

Infrastructure, Taxes & Fiscal Management

Growth-related revenue is shrinking. Rank your preference: higher property taxes, more debt, deferred projects, or reduced service levels — and defend it.

My first choice would be to defer projects that can safely wait, followed by a modest and explainable tax increase. I would use debt for long-lasting assets when it makes financial sense, and treat service cuts as a last resort. We should also pursue grants and efficiencies. I would not borrow to cover everyday operating costs.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

What tax increase range do you consider acceptable for 2027, and what would justify exceeding it?

For the Town portion of the property tax bill, my working target for 2027 is 3–5%. It is a target, not a promise to cap taxes at that level. I would first look for savings, grants and projects that can safely wait. Going above it would need to be justified by urgent safety or infrastructure needs, or by protecting essential services. Residents should see the full blended bill and what each level of government adds.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

Name one Town expenditure you would cut, or one you would add.

I would add a modest, targeted investment in local business attraction and retention, tied to clear goals for jobs and services residents need. Before spending, the Town should identify gaps and work with local business groups to attract businesses that help fill them. I would report back on results so residents can see whether the investment delivered.

Community Services Keeping Pace

Healthcare and schools are not municipal responsibilities, but residents feel the gaps locally. What is your advocacy plan, and how will residents measure whether it worked?

As a parent and Co-Chair of the Halton Catholic District School Board’s Parent Involvement Committee, I know how much families feel these gaps. I would make direct, ongoing asks of the school boards, Halton Healthcare, the Region and the Province for school capacity, hospital services and primary care. Residents should be able to track those requests, meetings, commitments and timelines through regular public updates.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

What is your position on the Milton Education Village's priorities and timeline?

I support moving the Milton Education Village forward with clear steps and a public timeline. It should bring education, jobs, housing, health and recreation closer together, with transit, roads, walking and cycling connections, parks and services planned from the start. I would ask the Town and its partners to identify who is responsible for each milestone, what decisions remain and when residents can expect progress.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

What recreation or community facility gap would you prioritise next, and where?

I would prioritize more indoor recreation space in south Milton, especially Boyne, where many young families are settling. We need more gym and court time, program rooms and safe outdoor sport space. I would work with school boards and community groups to assess demand and explore shared-use options, then bring forward a costed plan residents can review.

Rural Milton, Environment & the Escarpment

How should council balance aggregate and quarry operations against groundwater and community concerns?

Drinking water and public health have to come first. For any quarry or aggregate proposal, I would expect independent groundwater and environmental reviews, ongoing monitoring and public reporting residents can understand. I would work with the Region and Province, which also have roles in approvals and oversight. If serious risks to groundwater or nearby communities cannot be addressed, I would oppose the proposal.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

What is your commitment to rural Milton on roads, internet, and service equity?

Rural residents deserve safe roads, reliable internet and fair access to Town services. Roads involve both the Town and Region, so I would make responsibilities and repair timelines clear and press the right body for action. For broadband and cellular coverage, I would work with providers and senior governments. I would also support mobile or outreach options where a Town facility is far away.

Should Milton's urban boundary expand further within this term? Under what conditions?

No, I do not support expanding the urban boundary during this term. Our priority should be servicing the growth already planned and making sure infrastructure catches up. I would reconsider only if there were clear evidence of unmet housing need that cannot be addressed within the existing boundary, with full study of infrastructure costs, environmental impacts and meaningful public input.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

Leadership, Governance & Trust

Would you use, or support the use of, strong mayor powers? Under what circumstances?

I believe in a collaborative Council and open debate. I would not support strong mayor powers being used to shut down discussion, avoid public consultation or override Council without a compelling reason. If the law required using a power in an exceptional case, I would explain the reason publicly and clearly. Residents deserve to see how decisions are made.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

What is one specific change you would make to how council engages residents between elections?

I would publish a plain-language, three-to-six-month look-ahead of major decisions and hold regular Ward 4 town halls, followed by written updates on what Council decided and what happened next. People should be able to raise an issue, hear who is responsible and get a follow-up. Engagement should not stop on election day.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

What does Milton need more right now — continuity or change — and why are you the answer?

Milton needs thoughtful change that keeps families at the centre. I have lived here for nearly 15 years and am raising two children in Ward 4. I am a small-business owner, educator and community volunteer, including as Co-Chair of the HCDSB Parent Involvement Committee and a school council Co-Chair. I hold a BA in Political Science and an MPA in Public Administration. I will listen, do the homework and follow through.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

What is the first motion you would bring forward?

My first motion would ask staff to bring forward a costed Ward 4 road-safety plan, working with residents and Halton Region. It should map concerns near schools, parks and busy walking routes, then identify where speeding, crossings or traffic calming need attention. The plan should show who is responsible, what each fix will cost and when it can happen.

Name a vote from the 2022–2026 term you disagreed with, and what you would have done instead.

I was not on Council during the 2022–2026 term, so I cannot claim to have cast a vote. The 2025 budget approval is the vote I would have approached differently. It included a 9.89% increase to the Town portion of property taxes. Before finalizing it, I would have asked staff and Council to look again at projects that could be phased and possible savings, while protecting essential services, road safety and transit.

Data centres

Would you support large-scale data centres being developed in our municipality, and what would make you support or oppose a specific project?

At this time, I would not support approving a large-scale data centre in Milton. I would consider a specific proposal only after residents have clear information and a meaningful chance to be heard. I would want independent assessments of its effects on water, electricity, land, traffic, the environment and local services, along with enforceable plans to address those impacts. The proponent should pay its fair share of required infrastructure costs. Jobs and tax revenue matter, but they are not enough on their own. If serious impacts cannot be responsibly addressed, I would vote against it.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

How would you weigh the economic benefits of a data centre against its use of land, electricity, water, and other municipal infrastructure?

I would weigh credible, lasting local jobs and tax contributions against the demands on land, water, electricity, roads and other municipal services. I would expect clear studies, a practical plan to manage impacts and a fair contribution from the proponent toward required infrastructure. Residents should understand the trade-offs before Council decides. If the project’s demands would harm existing services or cannot be responsibly managed, the economic benefits alone would not justify approval.

Their website does not address this question. Most campaign sites do not address most specific questions. What it does say →

Should the municipality actively pursue data-centre investment, or only consider proposals as they come forward?

I would not make data-centre investment a priority for Milton to pursue. I would focus on businesses that meet residents’ needs and provide lasting local jobs and useful services. If a data-centre proposal comes forward, Council should review it under clear rules, consider the evidence and hear from residents before deciding. I would not support it if its significant impacts could not be responsibly addressed.

Where else they post

Accounts linked from the candidate's own website or filed with the Clerk. Nothing here was found by searching for their name: guessing at an account and attaching it to a real person is a mistake worth avoiding entirely. These are links out, not content read or quoted here.

From their site

What they said in answer to the questions themselves is under Where they stand, question by question.

Captured 2026-09-22 from http://www.voteada.ca. These are the candidate's own words on their own site, not a summary written here. Campaign sites change; this is what it said on that date.

This is not an answer to the questionnaire. The one-line description of each theme is written by RecordAI from the candidate’s own site; the quotation beneath it is theirs, verbatim, and is checked against the page it is attributed to before it appears. It is what their own website says on each theme, with the sentence it came from. A candidate writing that they care about traffic has not thereby said whether they would raise the transit budget, so nothing here is treated as a position on a question they were not asked. Every quotation was checked against the page it is attributed to.

Leadership, Governance & Trust

The candidate emphasizes maintaining open communication with residents, listening to concerns, and providing transparent updates on council decisions to ensure accountability. [RecordAI]

None of this changes anything else on this page.
