Tom's Platform
A Plan for Ward 2
Common sense policies built on lower taxes, managed growth, safer streets, and clean air.
Lower Taxes
Paying more and getting less is not sustainable. I will apply my executive experience to ensure every tax dollar is spent wisely and residents keep more of what they earn.
- Deliver city services on time and on budget — the same standard Tom held in the private sector.
- Scrutinize city spending and push back on waste and inefficiency at council.
- Advocate for a tax burden that reflects the real value residents receive.
- Bring a Senior Executive's discipline to managing Ward 2's share of the city budget.
Managed Growth
Mississauga is growing fast. I will ensure that growth respects the character of established neighbourhoods and serves existing residents first.
- Listen to residents and ensure their voices are included in the planning for new developments.
- Push for infrastructure investment that keeps pace with population growth.
- Protect the green spaces, parks, and community assets that define Ward 2.
- Ensure new development contributes to, rather than, strains local services and infrastructure.
Safer Streets
With over 300 cars stolen last month in Peel alone, residents deserve more action. I will be a strong voice for public safety at city hall.
- Support Peel Regional Police with the resources they need to keep Ward 2 safe.
- Push for a more balanced and effective approach to traffic calming and road safety improvements in residential areas.
- Work with all levels of government to address auto theft and property crime.
- Ensure community safety is a standing priority, not an afterthought at council.
Clean Air
Clean air isn't an abstract issue for me. My family breathes the same air as you and every Ward 2 resident. I will hold all levels of government accountable for a cleaner airshed and work for practical solutions.
- Advocate for a sensible, resident-first solution to air quality in Mississauga.
- Hold provincial and federal governments accountable for their environmental responsibilities.
- Work to hold industrial activity to a higher standard when it comes to air quality in Ward 2.
- Pursue partnerships with other municipalities to address regional air quality challenges.
