As a long time resident of Weyburn, I humbly ask for the opportunity to serve our community at the next level; as Mayor.
After two terms on Council I am proud of many things I’ve championed. Such as our Youth Council, Development Levy improvements, Commercial Incentive Plan and more.
Throughout my professional life I have learned how to work with different levels of government and what it takes to get strong results.
Strong leadership in City Hall, collaborative leadership at City Council, and professional representation are the strengths I can bring, and I believe they are the traits we need in our Mayor going forward.
My wife Lynnette and I raised our family here. Hard work and community spirit are a way of life at our house and I promise to continue working for everyone in Weyburn.
Let’s build a community for all.
