Everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighbourhood, confident using our parks and public spaces, and proud of the community they call home.

Creating safer communities requires more than slogans. It requires practical solutions, clear accountability, and a willingness to measure what is actually working. Compassion and accountability must go hand in hand. Every person should be treated with dignity and respect, and the rules should be applied fairly and consistently to everyone.

Success should be measured by results, not by how much money we spend. Residents deserve to see safer neighbourhoods, more people successfully transitioning off the streets, reduced crime, and greater confidence that public investments are making a real difference.

• Safer neighbourhoods through practical, measurable solutions.
• Compassion with accountability for mental health, addiction, and homelessness.
• Public investments measured by safer neighbourhoods and better outcomes.
• Fair, consistent enforcement that protects neighbourhoods and public spaces.

The rising cost of living is affecting families across Kelowna, and housing is one of the biggest reasons why. Everyone should have 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.

Good planning creates more housing choices, lowers unnecessary costs, and ensures infrastructure keeps pace with growth. Better planning doesn't just build more homes, it helps make Kelowna more affordable for everyone.

• 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.

Good planning means roads, water, parks, public safety, and community services are ready before growth arrives, not years later.

Responsible growth means planning housing, transportation, utilities, recreation, and infrastructure together so communities remain connected, complete, and financially sustainable. Growth should strengthen our neighbourhoods, not strain them.

I support practical planning that keeps infrastructure ahead of growth, protects neighbourhoods, and preserves the quality of life that makes Kelowna such a great place to live.

Good planning is not about saying yes to every project or no to every project. It is about making informed decisions that balance today's needs with tomorrow's opportunities.

• Infrastructure planned ahead of growth whenever possible.
• Roads, water, parks, and community services that keep pace with growth.
• Complete neighbourhoods with housing, recreation, and essential services.
• Long-term planning that protects Kelowna's quality of life.

Taxpayers deserve a City Hall that measures results, sets clear priorities, and spends every dollar wisely.

Residents work hard for their money. Every major decision should begin with clear priorities, measurable results, and accountability before asking taxpayers to invest 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 is about more than 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.

A strong local economy creates good jobs, supports local charities and community organizations, and helps keep Kelowna thriving for everyone. When local businesses succeed, our community becomes stronger, more resilient, and better able to fund the services residents rely on.

City Hall doesn't create successful businesses, but it can create the conditions that help them succeed. I support practical policies that reduce unnecessary barriers, improve predictability, and encourage investment while maintaining fair and consistent 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.
