Let’s talk about my campaign ambitions. Not my campaign promises. Because I’m not going to make the unrealistic claims that have become all too common in politics today.

Instead, I will lead with ambitions – goals that are set after careful review and consultation. Ideas that come to life through determination, problem solving and a will to always find an alternative to the status quo. I’ve never done things the same way as everyone else, and I believe that’s the only true way to move forward with integrity, inquisitiveness and passion.

Toronto is a unique organism in the form of a city. And we’re a city facing real challenges when it comes to cost of living and quality of life.

My career has been based on having curiosity and knowing the right questions to ask – where do opportunities lie, and how are they leveraged. My various professional roles have also required me to be nimble, collaborative and decisive. All qualities that I would include in the assets of a desirable elected official!

Ambitions require imagination, collaboration, transparency and accountability; all concepts I have championed throughout my work and volunteerism. And I am committed to bringing this curiosity, compassion, enthusiasm and cooperative spirit to Toronto’s City Hall.
