Transportation

How to read these statements
Voting record
Selected decisions, not a complete voting history. Follow each record for the full motion. Historical votes do not automatically establish current views.
No elected public-office tenure was identified in the reviewed sources. No voting record is attributed. Campaigns, employment and community-board service are not legislative votes.
No individual voting records have been verified for this section. Submit information or a correction ↗
Business & finances
Public business & professional interests
Publicly identifies construction, development and real-estate work. The reviewed campaign does not supply a full list of corporate or property holdings or their values. [44]
Personal net worth
No reliable, dated net-worth disclosure was verified in the reviewed sources. Business roles, real-estate interests, public remuneration and campaign donations cannot establish personal net worth. Submit information or a correction ↗
Campaign finances
Campaign receipts and expenses are separate from personal wealth. Historical Kelowna campaign filings can be searched at Elections BC. The City lists January 15, 2027 as the 2026 campaign disclosure deadline. [8][2]
Politics & broader policy
Political alignment & party history
Former BC Conservative organizer — self-reported
His campaign says he helped establish the BC Conservative Kelowna–Mission constituency association in 2012 and served as Okanagan Regional Director before the 2013 election. This is self-reported historical party work; a current party role or 2026 municipal endorsement was not verified. [44]
Broader public & foreign policy
Dated personal statements, historical campaigns and organizational positions are distinguished below.
The proposed highway and bridge changes require advocacy beyond City Hall. No verified funding agreement or approved delivery schedule accompanies the campaign position. [44]
