Thank You, Beaumont
Thank you, merci beaucoup to my friends, family, and supporters in Beaumont. I am excited to have been re-elected to serve our community for another 4 years!
Every campaign has its own strengths and challenges. This one was no exception. On reflecting back to February, International Women’s Day, when I was the first candidate to file my nomination papers, it seemed like I was watching paint dry for a long time. But even though there were no signs up or papers filed, the campaign was underway. All candidates were hard at work thinking, planning, ordering materials, writing, participating on social media and generally connecting with residents. It was an interesting 7 months of preparation before Nomination Day, on September 18th. By that time there were 15 candidates in the race for Councillor and 5 Mayoral hopefuls.
Post election, I am committed more than ever to my 3 campaign priorities – strategic and measured growth; quality, affordable services; and excellence in governance.
Having been blown away by the innovative ideas and energy of my new and returning Council mates, I can truly say that these are still the areas we need to focus on. I recognize that they are general in nature but I see that as the role of Council to unpack these big ideas and figure out how best to get there. There are many paths we can take, and if we keep our strategic long term vision in mind we can achieve a lot together.
I hope that I can count on those of you who know me, to stay in touch. I’m prepared to listen and learn about your concerns and your ideas. You can contact me in many ways from phone, email, facebook, twitter, website, in- person.
Here’s my coordinates.
