Richmond isn’t just where I live, it’s home. I was born and raised here, and for more than 30 years, Steveston has shaped who I am. This community has given me opportunities, friendships and a sense of belonging that I will never take for granted.

My path hasn’t always been easy. I’ve faced challenges that changed my life and gave me a deeply personal understanding of the toxic drug crisis. Those experiences taught me the value of second chances and why treatment, recovery and hope must be part of the conversation.

I’m running for City Council because I want to give back to the community that has given me so much. I will fight for safer neighbourhoods, responsible spending, thriving local businesses and a City Hall that listens.

Richmond is our home. I want to help protect what makes it special while building an even stronger future together.
