Back

 It has been a great honour to serve my community over the last 14 years.  I am proud of my accomplishments, but there is still much to do, so I am hoping to be re-elected to continue working on your behalf for the next 4 years.  I am asking for your support and assistance. 

 

There are many ways you can help:
