The overt drug use, high crime rate and effects of homelessness make it harder and harder to take pride in our community.

Tourists are being driven to other entertainment districts; renters are less likely to settle down and raise families here; and investors are being pushed to other communities. For those of us who do take a chance and stick around, we are seeing hard-working entrepreneurs being driven out; local shops being replaced with businesses that do not represent our values; and less value for the dollars we are paying to keep our community clean and safe.

I am running so that I can be the voice our community deserves. I will not shy away from asking why we are sending cleaning crews to rake dirty needles out of sandboxes instead of making the spaces that our children play in safer in the first place. I will not shy away from holding our service providers accountable when we are seeing more money spent and no results.

I will voice the concerns that we whisper about to our neighbours, and I will stand up for our community.
