About You
What is the biggest issue facing your community, and how would you address it?
There has been an increase in crime in Dawson Trail. I will continue to promote community police similar to the model found in Ste. Annes. I am also pleased to be part of a PC team who added additional funding to the RCMP.
Why did you decide to run for office?
I was working in the social service field and experienced a broken system. I ran for office with the hopes to help change this system to better protect the most vulnerable in our society, being children.
Manitoba is marking its 150th anniversary next year. Suggest one way we can make it a memorable occasion.
