Running for Mayor of Oakville
Twenty-six years on council and chair of the police board, running on protecting Oakville's character.
Where they stand
Each position pairs what they say with what they did.
Housing
Resist densification
What they did:
Campaign messaging emphasises resisting rapid densification and making sure development does not overwhelm existing neighbourhoods. Supporters call him experienced and stable; pro-housing residents call the approach NIMBY-leaning.
Land use
Controlled growth
What they did:
Part of Oakville's long-standing controlled growth establishment. Ward 5 councillor since 2000, and founder of Film.Ca Cinemas.
Policing
Police board chair
What they did:
Chair of the Halton Police Services Board for several years, which has made him a key voice in local policing policy and budgets. He connects that work to concerns about rising crime and community safety.
