What I’ve promised
Every promise I make as a candidate goes here, in writing, before election day. If I’m elected and I don’t follow through, this page stays up so you can hold me to it.
I will not vote for any increase to the municipal tax rate on an existing home. No exceptions carved out in advance. If council brings forward a rate increase, I vote against it regardless of the reason attached to it.

I’ve drafted the Pay Accountable to City Taxpayers (PACT) bylaw in the open, on GitHub, since before I was a candidate. Anyone can read every version and see exactly what changed and when. If elected, I will introduce it at council.

I will not vote for a moratorium on AI data centres. I will vote for conditions instead: power generation that adds capacity to the local grid, cooling that does not draw down the municipal water system, and noise and setback rules that protect nearby homes.

The fund held $1.19 million at the end of 2024, with only about $225,000 of it reaching an actual project. I oppose putting a million dollars a year back into that fund on the strength of the emergency label alone. Any new dollar needs a plan that names the result it buys and how we’ll know it worked.

Ward 9 distances and winter rule out walking and cycling as a serious year-round option for most of the trips residents actually need to make. I will judge each project on its own street and its effect on traffic, not on a citywide target.

Council keeps granting exceptions that blow past the London Plan’s own height and density caps. If the citywide height table needs to change, that change belongs in a public Official Plan amendment, not a one-off exception for a single applicant.

Residents should be able to see who is paid to influence City Hall. Guelph, Hamilton, and Burlington already run one without a large new office. I will vote for a mandatory lobbyist registry so meetings that shape planning files, contracts, and bylaws are on the public record.

I oppose a fixed ALPR camera network for London, and I will vote against any procurement, renewal, or expansion that moves the City toward one. Any contract has to make its code available to the City for independent audit, and I will not approve sharing that data with another agency or another country by default.

London’s senior management has grown faster than the services it delivers. I won’t invent a headcount number to cut without a real review behind it. I will vote for an independent audit, with its findings published in full, then vote the specific reductions that audit actually supports.

Freezing a line still takes a council vote, and I can’t fire a city manager directly. What I control is my own vote: against any budget line where the numbers don’t back up the spending, every time it comes up.

Reinstating a full annual review takes a council majority, not just my vote. What I commit to is how I vote: for genuine annual review and public disclosure of every operating budget line, every time it comes up.

Making the ban permanent and city-wide takes a council vote, not just mine. What I control is my own vote: for a clear, permanent, city-wide rule, not left to each operator’s discretion.

Filing a motion is within a single councillor’s own power. Ontario authorized municipalities to use stop-arm cameras on school buses in 2020, and London has not acted on it. If elected, I will file a motion directing staff to report on the cost and feasibility of a stop-arm camera bylaw.

Staff can approve contracts up to six million dollars without a single council vote, and council never sees a report on anything under $133,800. Getting to full itemized costing takes more than my own vote. By 2030, I want any Londoner to be able to open any city spending item and see the real cost before the money moves.

Contracts, invoices, and spending details should be published proactively, not surrendered one redacted page at a time after a freedom-of-information request. Any vendor contract that requires basic facts like cost, scope, or performance to stay confidential is a contract I vote against.

I already built a public concern tracker into this site so residents can write in and see my answer go up publicly. Building an official, city-wide version takes staff and a council vote, not just mine. If elected, I will push for one, with verified-resident logins and optional anonymity.

Council approved a ten-year, 155-action ReconciliAction Plan without a resourced implementation strategy behind it. A ten-year commitment without real metrics is just a longer speech. I will push the next council to finish the metrics and timeline first, and report progress publicly.

I’ll add to this page every time I make a new one, in writing, before election day.
