Partial record. Covers 113 of 119 meetings (2022-10-27 to 2026-07-30). Counts below are of what has been parsed, not of the whole term — the remaining 6 meetings have no published minutes yet or failed to parse.

Portrait and biography published by the Town of Milton — source page.

Present at 55 of 57 council meetings (96%) where attendance was recorded in the minutes.

Committee of Adjustment meetings are excluded: councillors do not sit on that body. Some minutes do not record attendance at all, which is why the denominator is smaller than the total number of meetings.

A notice of motion is a member raising their own item. Its absence does not mean inactivity — much of a councillor's work happens through committees, delegations and casework that these minutes never record.

10 for and 6 against, across 16 recorded votes.

This is about 3% of all business. Under Ontario law individual positions are written down only when a member requests a recorded vote, and members request them on the most contentious items. Everything else passed on a voice vote and is recorded simply as carried, with no way to know who supported it. These votes are therefore a skewed sample, not a voting record.

91 substantive motions moved, across 67 meetings they could have attended.

Separately, 14 procedural motions — approving the consent agenda, receiving reports for information, waiving the rules. Those run the meeting rather than decide anything, so they are counted apart and never added to the figure above.

They also seconded 135 substantive and 61 procedural motions. Seconding puts a motion on the floor for debate; it is often a seat convention and is not a statement of support.

Written by other people, not by this site. Headlines and links only, with the outlet and date. Where a piece quotes them directly, that quotation is printed word for word and checked against the article it is attributed to.

None of this changes anything else on this page. A reporter’s summary is their compression of what was said, not the member’s own words, so nothing here is recorded as a position or compared against one. Where they are quoted directly, those words are theirs — and they are shown here rather than folded into a stance they did not write.

They are named in this piece. It carries no direct quotation from them, so none is shown.

• Committee work, delegations to Council, constituency casework and anything discussed in closed session. Committee of Adjustment meetings are excluded entirely: that is a separate appointed body that councillors do not sit on.
• Seconding is frequently a seat convention rather than a signal of support, so it is reported separately and never read as agreement or as passivity.
• How each member voted. Under the Ontario Municipal Act, individual positions are recorded only when a member requests a recorded vote — across the whole term that happened twice, so the minutes almost always read simply “Carried”.
• Motions moved at meetings whose minutes are not yet published or parsed.

A councillor who moves few motions may be doing a great deal that these minutes never capture. This page is a record of one specific thing, not an assessment of a person.
