IF ELECTED, I PLEDGE TO: Listen to all constituents and be their voice for freedom of choice at Queen's Park, without fear of being kicked out of the New Blue Party. I will stand up against any more lockdowns or mandates. They have already seriously hurt our economy and destroyed people's lives. I

will be a voice for all those that have lost their jobs over their bodily autonomy decisions and make sure they are given back their jobs. I will fight to ensure there are new laws so that never happens again.

I will uphold the Constitution and the guaranteed rights and freedoms of the supreme law of the land for all citizens. I will follow

the rule of law and represent my constituents with integrity, honesty and transparency, unlike the Ford PCS, Liberals and the NDP.

I will fight to cut carbon taxes, gas taxes and the HST by three per cent to stimulate the economy and put more money back in the hands of my constituents.
