As a long-time resident of Martensville since 2001, a dedicated educator, and a current superintendent, I have had the honor of serving our community as mayor for three terms. My wife, Carrie, and I have raised three children here, and I am deeply committed to seeing Martensville thrive. I value collaboration, transparency, and community engagement and aim to ensure our city continues to grow in a sustainable, community-centered way.
What is your main platform in this election? – My platform focuses on three pillars: community growth, infrastructure development, and enhancing services. I believe that as Martensville grows, we need to focus on maintaining a high quality of life for residents through efficient, responsive services, sustainable infrastructure improvements, and thoughtful planning that respects our community’s values.
What do you feel sets you apart from other candidates? – My extensive experience in community leadership—including my tenure as mayor, working in education, and participation on various boards—provides a deep understanding of Martensville’s needs. I’ve developed relationships with key stakeholders and bring a collaborative approach to problem-solving, always aiming to find the best outcomes for our city.
In your opinion, what is the most pressing issue that needs to be addressed within Martensville? – One of the most pressing issues is balancing growth with the needs of our community infrastructure and services. As Martensville expands, we must ensure our transportation, healthcare, policing, and recreational facilities keep up. I am committed to prioritizing projects that will enhance our infrastructure while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
Access to healthcare within the community has been a concern for residents. How do you think this could be improved, and how would you help implement changes? – Improving healthcare access is a priority. I believe that by collaborating with the provincial health ministry and regional partners, we can advocate effectively for increased resources and services within Martensville. Strengthening these partnerships will help us address specific healthcare gaps and implement practical solutions that directly benefit our residents.
