Bio
CLC rating: Not Supportable
Rating Comments: This candidate’s Campaign Manager politely but explicitly refused to respond to CLC’s 2026 municipal elections questionnaire, implying that the municipal-level funding of abortion advocacy groups, and the imposition of municipal by-laws censoring pro-life demonstrations, are not municipal issues.
Percentage in last election: 67.8% (2022)
Victory margin last election: 49.5% (2022)

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Steve Desroches on June 13, 2026.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions, and increasingly, are involved in dispensing the chemical abortion pill. Given that abortion is a controversial practice that many taxpayers in your municipality find abhorrent, do you agree that PP and similar “sexual health agencies" should not receive taxpayer funds through the municipality? | refused to respond |
| There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw, if it were ever proposed? | refused to respond |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | refused to respond |
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | refused to respond |
