I've decided to run for Alderman, one thing I like about municipal politics is that it is non partisan. The council members are working for the people and do not have to vote along party lines. Im impressed with the work that City Council has done the past 3 years, a lot has been accomplished! I'd like to see that momentum continue, to have a city where families can grow, teens feel that they have a lot to do, and a downtown that welcomes all walks of life.
I am a downtown business owner and this area is important to me. There is great potential for new development, something that the city should look at very carefully. Its no secret that crime rates drop when people live in an area, so the possibility for affordable housing in the downtown core should be examined.
I am a mom of 4 busy young boys! We love the outdoors and often use the trail system. We've been to the parent link centre and the indoor playground. There are things for my children to do now, but I often wonder what they will be doing when they are teens. Grande Prairie needs to support our young adults and have a variety of things for them to do. I want my kids to continue enjoying what this city has to offer from now into adulthood.
Iam excited to enter this process, this new phase of my life. I look forward to meeting new people and representing mothers like me in the city of Grande Prairie!
