Platform Statement
February 3, 2026 — Ward 3 Candidacy

My Platform

My platform is practical and local.

01

Roads

I want a real budget reform that gets our road rehab done in 2 years, not 10. The concept is simple: use reserves as a participation guarantee to secure financing, then rebuild and rehabilitate every priority road to a solid 70–100% standard on a clear schedule.

02

Housing That Fits Rural Life

I will support a Tiny House lot-rental program so local people can live here affordably without waiting a decade for "big" solutions.

03

Local Jobs and Local Commerce

I will push for a commercial pad in Plevna with three warehouse sizes for rent, paired with an indoor farmers market style space where local producers and artists can set up year-round.

04

Tourism That Doesn't Wreck Our Housing Supply

I support expanding rentable campsites through parklands, and assisting with the idea of building a winter camping cabin operation that competes with short-term rentals without turning family homes into investment inventory.

05

Honest Growth

We need a serious discussion about land acquisition along main roads to create building lots where it actually makes sense.

06

Services People Can Count On

North Frontenac needs a real plan for long-term care, and I support a public gym in Plevna as part of basic community infrastructure.

07

Short-Term Rentals

This has to stay local, not kicked up to the County. I will work toward a fair balance that respects residents and responsible operators.

08

Performance at Town Hall

I won't pretend everything is fine. Some roles need to be reassigned, some people need to go, and some positions need to be recruited so the Township runs better.

Finally, I will stand firm on the principles that keep small-town democracy healthy: freedom of speech, land rights, access to information, and basic respect.

If you want a council that fixes things instead of managing decline, that's what I'm running for.
