I know that he cares deeply for the community and is passionate about protecting its character and quality of life in the face of contemporary pressures for redevelopment. With his work experience in the financial sector, his volunteer experience on several HRM advisory committees, his familiarity with municipal procedures and regulations, and his straightforward, plain-speaking trustworthiness, I believe that he will make a great Councillor for District 7."
