A Vision for Lacombe’s Future

As this election season unfolds, I’m proud to step forward as a candidate for Mayor of Lacombe. I’ve lived, worked, and raised a family here — and I care deeply about the people who call this city home. My vision for Lacombe is built on opportunity, accountability, and community pride.

Commitment to Community Engagement

I believe Lacombe works best when residents feel heard. Open communication and genuine engagement are at the heart of my approach.

Community Conversations: I’ll hold regular opportunities for residents to sit down and share their thoughts — whether it’s at a town hall, a local coffee shop, or a community event.
Accessible Dialogue: I’ll provide clear updates on decisions and ensure there are open channels for people to ask questions, share ideas, and express concerns.

When people feel included in the process, they feel ownership of our city’s direction — and that’s how good communities grow.

Focus on Balanced Growth

Growth is important, but it needs to reflect who we are as a community. My approach is about balance — supporting progress while protecting what makes Lacombe special.

Support for Local Business: Strengthening partnerships with the Chamber, expanding shop-local initiatives, and helping our main streets stay vibrant and strong.
Ready for Opportunity: Ensuring commercial and light-industrial land is prepared so new employers can bring good jobs and lasting value to our city.
Attainable Housing: Working toward a variety of housing options so families, seniors, and young people can afford to stay and thrive right here in Lacombe.

Respecting Heritage, Building the Future

Lacombe’s history and culture are a big part of what makes this place unique. I want to protect our historic sites, celebrate our heritage, and weave it into tourism, education, and community pride — all while creating opportunities for our youth to see their future here at home.

Accountable Leadership

I believe leadership starts with accountability. That means clear budgets, open communication, and visible results. Residents deserve to know where their tax dollars are going and how decisions are made. I’ll work to make that information plain and accessible for everyone.

Investing in Families and Youth

Families are the foundation of our community, and supporting them means creating an environment where everyone feels valued and connected. I’ll work to strengthen programs and services that make life easier for families — from community supports to family-friendly events and initiatives that bring people together.

For our youth, I want to expand mentorship opportunities, promote trades and career pathways, and create more ways for young people to be involved in shaping Lacombe’s future. When we invest in families and give our youth a reason to build their future here, the whole community grows stronger.

A Fresh Outlook for Lacombe

I respect the work that has brought Lacombe to where it is today — but I also believe it’s time for fresh energy and new perspectives. My goal is to bring practical experience to City Hall, ensuring Lacombe grows in a way that protects its character and strengthens its future.

When you support me, you’re choosing accountable leadership, local opportunity, and a community where families, businesses, and traditions can thrive together.
