Re-offering for Council in the October 2024 Election

When I ran for Council in 2016, my intention was to serve two terms. For the last couple of years, I’ve been telling residents that I will not stand for re-election in 2024. Regularly, residents would tell me that I was doing a good job and that it’s too bad I won’t be on Council after 2024.

Over the past few months, I have heard from many residents asking me to reconsider. With all three seats on the Halifax Peninsula being vacated and the mayor stepping down, many residents and small-business people have been telling me they’re concerned about the extraordinary changes on Council and in our city.

As a result of these requests, I have indeed reconsidered and am announcing that I will stand for re-election in the October 2024 municipal election.
