Every tax dollar should be treated with the same care as a family's household budget.

Residents work hard for their money and deserve a City Hall that sets clear priorities, spends responsibly, and delivers measurable value before asking taxpayers to pay more.

Before raising taxes, City Hall should first demonstrate it is making the best use of the resources it already has. I support an independent operational review to identify inefficiencies, eliminate duplication, modernize processes, and ensure taxpayers receive the best possible value.

Respecting taxpayers isn't about spending less. It's about spending smarter, measuring results, and being accountable for every decision.

• What problem are we solving?
• What will it cost?
• How will we measure success?
• Who is accountable if it doesn't work?
• What project are we choosing not to fund instead?

• Respect every taxpayer dollar.
• Measure results, not spending.
• Transparent decision-making.
• Clear priorities and responsible budgeting.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to own or rent a home that fits their needs and their budget.

Housing isn't one-size-fits-all. Families, seniors, first-time buyers, and downsizers all need different options. Affordability starts by giving people more choice, not fewer choices.

Every unnecessary regulation, delay, or planning decision adds cost to a home. Those costs don't disappear. They become part of the mortgage or rent paid by the people who can least afford it.

I support practical policies that reduce unnecessary costs, encourage a mix of housing choices, and ensure infrastructure keeps pace with responsible growth.

• More housing choices for families, seniors, and first-time buyers.
• Fair, predictable planning decisions.
• Lower unnecessary costs that increase housing prices.
• Growth that strengthens neighbourhoods and respects taxpayers.

Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live, work, and raise a family.

Compassion and accountability must go hand in hand. I support helping people who genuinely want help while ensuring our neighbourhoods, parks, and public spaces remain safe, welcoming, and accessible for everyone.

Success should be measured by results, not by how much money we spend. Fewer people living on the streets, safer neighbourhoods, and greater public confidence are the outcomes that matter.

Whenever public money is involved, taxpayers deserve to know what results are being achieved.

• Safer neighbourhoods for everyone.
• Compassion with accountability.
• Measurable results from public funding.
• Fair and consistent bylaw enforcement.

Kelowna is growing whether we like it or not. The real question is whether we plan for that growth before it arrives or spend years trying to catch up.

Responsible growth means planning roads, parks, utilities, emergency services, recreation, and housing together so communities remain complete, connected, and financially sustainable.

I support practical planning that balances growth with infrastructure, protects neighbourhoods, and gives residents confidence that growth is being managed responsibly.

Responsible growth isn't about saying yes to every project or no to every project. It's about making thoughtful decisions that balance today's needs with tomorrow's opportunities.

• Infrastructure planned alongside growth.
• Complete neighbourhoods with housing, parks, and services.
• A balanced mix of housing choices.
• Long-term planning instead of reacting to growth.

Strong communities are built on strong local businesses.

Small businesses create jobs, support local charities, sponsor community organizations, and invest back into Kelowna. When local businesses succeed, our community becomes stronger, more resilient, and better able to fund the services residents rely on.

City Hall can't create a strong economy, but it can make it easier or harder for businesses to succeed. I support practical policies that reduce unnecessary barriers, improve predictability, and encourage investment while maintaining fair rules for everyone.

A strong economy creates opportunity, supports families, and strengthens the tax base that funds roads, parks, recreation, and public safety.

• Support local businesses and entrepreneurs.
• Reduce unnecessary delays and red tape.
• Fair, predictable decision-making.
• Encourage investment that benefits the entire community.
