1. What made you decide to run in this election?
A man I hold in high esteem felt I would be a sane voice and asked me to consider running. I have had discussions with many people and decided I have something to offer Tahsis. I have through my union experience been given a firm foundation in the political arena.
2. What part of your background (experience, education, skills etc.) would make you a good person in this office?
I served on union committee for over 20yrs in every capacity, trustee, Supervisor for 16 + years, my wife and I raised 6 children here in Tahsis. Education I received and resolves in all aspects of this journey will be an asset when it comes to Village issues. I am honest to a fault and I am forth right in speaking, never afraid to tackle issue.
3. What is the most important issue facing Tahsis and what will you do to address it?
I find this an impossible question. It is not I who picks the " most important issue" . This is the people of Tahsis decision, they will decide what that issue may be and direct council to act upon those wishes. Once that position is made then it is up to council to expend their resources to achieve that goal. I would hope that the proposed logging in our valley and watershed is one issue, the other I would hope would be some type of industrial employment, another the TFL in which Western holds.

4. Any additional comments you would like to make?
There are many issues facing Tahsis, some the out going council have addressed. It is for me, if elected to learn what they did or did not do and proceed from there. I do not believe in spending money we don't have, raising taxes to pay for everything is NOT an option.

Try and make Tahsis an even better place to live. All people, all businesses must be on an equal basis.
Whom ever gets elected will be new to Tahsis council. They will need the town people's patience and understanding, They have alot to consume in a short period of time without any prior council leadership.
