Fresh Leadership for a Brighter Ontario
Jobs
I will make it my priority to implement policies that attract good-paying jobs and benefits for our residents. In today's economy, too many families are struggling to make ends meet. I believe that by bringing more high-quality jobs to Ontario, we can provide our residents with the economic stability they need to thrive. My plan includes initiatives to attract new businesses to Ontario, as well as support Ontario-based companies as they expand and create new jobs. I will also work to ensure that all Ontario workers have access to good benefits and livable wages. By making Ontario a place where businesses want to invest and workers can thrive, we can create a bright future for our city. I ask for your vote so that together we can make Ontario the best place to live, work, and raise a family.
Affordable Housing
We all have a responsibility to ensure that everyone has a place to call home. A roof over our head is one of the basic necessities of life, and yet there are far too many people who cannot afford a safe and secure place to live. That's why I am committed to prioritizing the building of affordable housing in our city. I believe that everyone who works here should be able to afford to live here, and that our residents should not just survive, but thrive. This is not only the right thing to do, but it makes good economic sense. When our residents have stable housing, they are able to spend their money locally, supporting businesses and stimulating our economy. This is important not just for individuals and families, but for our entire community. When people have stable housing, they are more likely to be employed and contributing members of society. They are also less likely to become involved in crime or end up in hospital. Investing in affordable housing is an investment in our community as a whole, and it is something that I would be proud to champion as a member of the Ontario City Council.
Youth Programs
As your future Councilmember, I am committed to working hard on behalf of our community and its residents. One of my top priorities is increasing and promoting positive outlets and programs for our youth, such as sports, recreation, and arts. Furthermore, I plan to increase collaboration with our local school districts and colleges for more career-preparedness training. Our young people are our future and it is vital that we invest in them. I believe that by providing opportunities for them to succeed, we can build a brighter future for Ontario. I look forward to working with my fellow Councilmembers to make this vision a reality.
Homelessness
I'm running for Ontario city council because I believe Ontario can do better when it comes to homelessness. Too many people are sleeping on the street, and too many families are one bad break away from being homeless themselves. We need to do more to help people get back on their feet, and that starts with showing more compassion.
​
Homelessness is a complex issue, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. But I believe Ontario can be a leader in finding answers by investing in more resources and programs to help our most vulnerable citizens. We need to provide access to shelter, food, and basic necessities like clothing and hygiene products. We also need to connect people with job training and placement programs, so they can get back to work and support themselves and their families.
​
If we're going to make Ontario a better place for everyone, we need to start by helping those who are struggling the most. I hope you'll join me in this effort by electing me to Ontario city council. Together, we can make Ontario a community that lives up to its potential.
First Responders
I am running for Ontario City Council because I believe that our first responders deserve the equipment, resources, dignity and respect they need to keep us safe. I will be a strong advocate for our first responders on the council, and I will work to build positive relationships between the community, law enforcement, firefighters and social services.
If elected, I will work tirelessly to make sure that our first responders have everything they need to do their jobs effectively and safely. I believe that this is a vital issue for our community, and I am committed to making sure that our first responders have the support they need. I hope you will join me in supporting our first responders.
