A Better Midland, Together

After years of attending Midland Council meetings, following local issues, asking questions and staying involved in what happens in our community, I’m taking the next step, running for Councillor for the Town of Midland.

​

For me, this has never been about politics.  It’s about community, communication, and making sure residents have a voice in the decisions that affect where we live.  I have always felt a strong connection to Midland, it’s where I grew up and built the relationships that shaped my commitment to supporting our community.  I honour my Métis heritage.  It’s something that grounds me, and it inspires how I show up for others and work to help Midland thrive. 

​

I’ve spent the past decade staying engaged in what’s happening in Midland, following local issues, attending council meetings, various board and committee meetings and paying attention to the decisions that shape our town.   Since 2018, I’ve shared information from meetings through the OurMidland Facebook Group to help residents stay informed about Council discussions and local developments.  That experience showed me how important clear, accessible communication is.

​

I want to be a Councillor who shows up, listens, and does the work.  My focus is on being prepared, staying engaged, keeping track of Council’s commitments, communicating openly, and giving people clear, honest answers, while being responsible with overall spending, including how our tax dollars are used.

​

I believe your voice should matter in the decisions that affect our community.

​

That’s why “Decisions That Include YOU!” is the message I chose for my campaign.

​

I would like to know: 

- What’s important to you?

- Is there something you’d like to see Council do better?

​

If you want a Councillor who listens, shows up and makes sure residents are part of the conversation, I’d be honoured to have your support on October 26, 2026.
