About You
What is the biggest issue facing your community, and how would you address it?
If elected, I will work to insure rural Manitobans have access to stable primary health care close to home, emergency rooms and specialists when required. Better Health Care, Sooner.
We have tackled a huge infrastructure deficit by working on highways and bridges, but I know there is much more to be done - including the rebuilding of the bridge on PR 257 near Virden. Consistent spending each year insures we get the best value for money. A re-elected PC government will add $50 million to the $350 million we already spend on a yearly basis.
Cellular service is certainly one issue that keeps coming up in conversations with residents and municipal officials. Cell phones are not just convenient - they insure the safety of citizens in life-threatening and emergency situations. Bell-MTS promised $1 billion in upgrades over five years in Manitoba when they merged, and I look forward to upgrades in the Riding Mountain constituency. If re-elected, I will continue to lobby our cellular providers to improve service in the Riding Mountain constituency.
Why did you decide to run for office?
I am humbly asking for the support of the citizens of the Riding Mountain constituency for a second term as part of the Progressive Conservative Team as I know there is much more work to be done. I pride myself on listening to concerns, taking action where appropriate, and getting back to the people with answers to their issues. I have an outgoing personality, with the ability to use common sense to arrive at solutions to problems or issues.
Manitoba is marking its 150th anniversary next year. Suggest one way we can make it a memorable occasion.
All Manitobans need to feel involved so I believe all communities across the province need to be encouraged to celebrate our 150th birthday in a way they feel is appropriate to their area. We need to be proud of our province and what we have accomplished to date, but also look forward to the future with optimism.
Tell us something about yourself that voters might find surprising.
I am pretty much an open book so there isn't much that voters don't know about me. However, one thing that people might find funny is that I am deathly afraid of birds.
