Strong Leadership • Transparent Governance • Amherstburg First
A Commitment to Transparency, Fiscal Responsibility, and Strong Community Leadership
Our community deserves leadership that is open, accountable, and focused on real results. As mayor, I will work alongside council and residents to ensure decisions are made with clarity, integrity, and the long-term success of our town in mind.
Transparency and Accountability
I believe residents should have a clear voice and full visibility into how decisions are made. I will:
-
Introduce public questioning periods both during and after every council meeting
-
Ensure the finance department provides a clear, simplified annual summary of financial statements following council approval
-
Implement a new hiring policy requiring council approval for mid- and upper-management positions
-
Hold special council sessions that better accommodate farmers and rural community members
Strong Financial Management
In a time of rising inflation and economic uncertainty, careful financial leadership is essential. I will:
-
Work with council to establish and follow a clear plan for debt reduction
-
Actively pursue provincial and federal grant opportunities to reduce pressure on local taxpayers
-
Maintain high-quality services and infrastructure to attract investment and protect our revenue base
-
Review and dispose of non-essential municipal assets, returning proceeds to the town’s treasury
-
Promote our town responsibly, supporting growth without compromising our community values
-
Ensure council maintains proper financial oversight
-
Commit to balanced annual budgets
-
Deliver on a firm commitment: NO NEW TAX INCREASES
With economic pressures mounting and growth challenges ahead, our town needs steady, practical leadership. I am ready to bring that leadership forward.
I respectfully ask for your trust and your vote.
