Thank you for the privilege of helping plan and build our community for the last 35 years.

Markham is entering a new era of growth and innovation. Population growth, housing affordability, traffic congestion, artificial intelligence, energy demand and global competition will affect every family. We need experienced leadership with a clear plan for the future. My vision is a prosperous, connected, environmentally responsible and financially strong Markham—ready for the economy of tomorrow.

That is why transportation, housing, jobs, infrastructure, technology, energy, parks, healthcare, education and economic development must be planned together—not one project at a time. Implementing this vision will mean safer communities, better transportation, more local jobs, stronger neighbourhoods and a better quality of life for Markham families.

I will continue to use the strong relationships I have built with federal and provincial governments to advance Markham’s priorities and turn this vision into results. These partnerships can help secure the investment and infrastructure Markham needs.

If you give me the opportunity, I will continue to bring this forward-looking, integrated approach to Markham and York Region Council.

My objective is straightforward:

Protect our quality of life today while building the opportunities our children and grandchildren will need tomorrow.
