Q and A
Questions and Answers
Q: Why are you running for Mayor?
A: I'm running because London has immense potential but too many residents feel that progress has stalled. We need bold, accountable leadership that focuses on what matters: traffic, safety, services, and respect for taxpayers. That's what I'll bring to City Hall.
Q: What's your top priority?
A: Traffic and safety — together. Both are about whether London works as a city day to day. If you can't get to work in a reasonable time and you don't feel safe getting there, nothing else really matters. I'll move on both from day one.
Q: How will you bring change without raising taxes?
A: By starting with respect for taxpayers as a principle, not an afterthought. That means transparent budgeting, value-for-money reviews, and prioritization. I've spent my career working inside government — I know where waste hides and how to take it out.
Q: How can I get involved?
A: Click the Get Involved button at the top of the page. We need volunteers to knock on doors, make calls, donate, host events, and put up signs. Every single one of those things matters.
