How I approach the job
The role is straightforward: represent Courtenay–Comox, help constituents navigate provincial services, scrutinize government decisions and push for practical improvements where systems are not working.
My approach is to define the problem, establish a clear baseline, set measurable goals and publish results. Spending announcements are not outcomes, and good intentions are not a substitute for effective delivery.
Healthcare, affordability, public safety, forestry, the economy and government accountability all deserve sustained attention. Proposals should be judged by the evidence, their likely results and whether they serve the public interest.
Political disagreement is part of democracy. It should not prevent people from listening to one another, challenging assumptions and working together on practical problems.
