What Chris will focus on

Respect for Taxpayers

Every dollar matters.

Chris will advocate for responsible spending, clear priorities and decisions grounded in sound financial management.

Endlessly increasing taxes cannot be the default solution.

Financial responsibility must be at the centre of every major decision.

Better Management of Critical Infrastructure

Taxpayers depend on safe roads, reliable drinking water, and essential services every day.

Chris will push for short-, mid- and long-term plans for regional infrastructure, with clear priorities for maintenance, repair, replacement, and investment.

Build it well. Maintain it properly. Plan for the future.

Preparing for the New Hospital

The new hospital represents an important investment in the future of the Waterloo Region.

Chris will advocate for transparent budgeting around the Region's share of the project and strong accountability for the outcomes residents expect.

Major investments require major accountability.

Housing People Can Afford

The Waterloo Region needs more housing than people can actually afford.

Chris will support practical partnerships with municipalities and the Province to reduce unnecessary red tape, address bottlenecks, and to help get homes built for everyone.

We need proven solutions that move projects from planning to construction.
