2. Why should a voter consider electing you to represent them?
I have worked hard to represent the amazing people of Point Douglas and to bring their voices to the Manitoba Legislature since being elected in 2017.

I will always remember where I came from and who it is that I am representing, which is families in the incredible community of Point Douglas.
