Listening, Learning, and Stepping Forward — Together

Over the past several months, I’ve had the chance to sit down with many community leaders, volunteers, neighbours, and residents to share my interest in running for Fredericton City Council in Ward 10 — and, more importantly, to listen.

These conversations were candid, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in a shared commitment to the well-being and future of our community. We spoke about housing and livability, transparency in local government, growth that makes sense, and the desire for a more connected and inclusive city.

Each conversation helped shape my perspective — not only on whether to run, but on why I should run. I heard clearly that being a councillor is grounded in someone who truly believes in bringing people together, actively listening, and pushing for practical solutions. That message resonated strongly and affirmed what I’ve believed all along: no one person has all the answers, but together, we do.

While I won’t name those I met with, I want to offer my sincere thanks to each of you for taking the time to meet, share your thoughts, and ask tough questions. Your insights and encouragement were invaluable.

This campaign is rooted in that spirit of listening first and leading together.

I hope you’ll continue to be part of the conversation. You can learn more at ward10together.ca and follow along on Facebook and Instagram.

Let’s build a stronger Ward 10 — together.
