City Hall must be accountable for results, spending, service delivery, and follow-through. Residents deserve a mayor who shows up, listens, responds, and reports back.

Every policy should create real benefits for residents: safer streets, stronger local businesses, more jobs, better roads, improved recreation, affordable housing options, and better value for taxpayers.

Oshawa should be a city of opportunity—for workers, entrepreneurs, families, young people, seniors, skilled trades, and new businesses. Growth should create pathways to good jobs and upward mobility.

A strong city cannot be built by leaving communities behind. Oshawa needs leadership that unites downtown, suburban neighbourhoods, workers, businesses, seniors, youth, and families around a shared future.

Residents should know how decisions are made, where money is going, what projects are on schedule, and what progress has been delivered. Open government builds trust.

Good leadership begins by understanding the experiences, concerns and ideas of residents.

Every public dollar must be managed carefully transparently and in the public interest.

The mayor must work constructively with council, professional staff Durham Region and other governments.

Announcements are not enough. Residents deserve objectives, timelines and public progress reports.

The mayor represents the entire city, regardless of ward, background, income, age or political preference.

Public office must never be used for private advantage, conflicts must be disclosed and managed according to law.

Protect essential services, examine spending and contracts, improve procurement and give residents clear explanations for major financial decisions.

Combine effective enforcement and well-maintained public spaces with coordinated treatment, outreach, supportive housing and regional partnerships.

Speed up appropriate approvals, support diverse housing options and ensure infrastructure and services keep pace with growth. Oshawa’s housing target is 23,000 new homes by 2031.

why i am running

I’m running for Mayor because I believe Oshawa can do better—and because I know better is possible when leadership is practical, disciplined, and accountable.


Oshawa is a city of builders, workers, families, entrepreneurs, seniors, and young people trying to build a future. It is a city with proud industrial roots, resilient neighbourhoods, and tremendous untapped potential. But it is also a city facing real pressures: affordability challenges, infrastructure decline, concerns about growth, and a growing frustration that local government is not moving fast enough or listening closely enough.


I’m not running to make politics my career. I’m running to bring a builder’s mindset to City Hall. My background in business, contracting, and project management has taught me that progress does not happen by accident. It takes planning, discipline, teamwork, accountability, and the courage to make decisions. It takes leadership that understands how to manage resources, solve problems, and follow through.


That is the kind of leadership I want to bring to Oshawa.


I want to help restore Oshawa as a city of opportunity—a city that creates jobs, supports local business, respects taxpayers, invests in neighbourhoods, improves infrastructure, and gives residents confidence that their voices matter.


This campaign is about more than one election. It is about the future we choose for our city. It is about whether Oshawa settles for drift and frustration, or decides to move forward with competent change and practical leadership.


I believe we can build a stronger Oshawa together, and I would be honoured to earn your trust.
