A message to voters in Victoria
Dear Voter,
Victoria is a beautiful city but we are facing many challenges. Affordable housing, effective transportation, development pressures on residential neighbourhoods and keeping downtown an attractive and affordable place to live, work and shop are some of the more pressing. Meeting these challenges will require a council that is balanced and brings both experience and new ideas to the table. It will also require engaging with all citizens and encouraging thoughtful and full discussion.
I believe in hearing from Victorians and thoughtfully considering your input before making decisions. The record shows I listened when people said they wanted more discussion on how to treat a public statue, when they said the City should not encourage permanent tent camps and when they said they wanted our community plans to be respected. While not everyone will agree with every decision I have made I have been consistent in arguing for the right of citizens to have their voices heard.
I believe I can offer an independent voice on council and I hope that on October 20th you can give me one of your votes for council.
