The BC Greens are known for doing things differently — and I’m no exception!
Over my eight years as a dedicated party member and four years on our Provincial Council, I’ve been pushing bold solutions!

“Everyday the affordability crisis keeps getting worse for each and every hard working British Columbian, yet Fossil Fuel companies and the rich are rolling in profits. Me and his family have dedicated decades to public education/service and feel the economic hardship many of you are feeling. That's why lowering the Cost of Living is one of my top priority!”

“British Columbian backyard views are known worldwide for their majestic landscapes, from mountain peaks to old growth forests, scenic coastlines to the frozen beauty. Unfortunately, corporate greed and political inaction have landed us in a climate crisis. Seasonal flooding, Forest Fires and unpredictable weather has become a staple of provincial life, but it's not too late! I have been advocating for Climate action since my first day with the Greens nearly a decade ago.”
