The City of Coquitlam's official count gives him 15,104 votes, second of the 20 council candidates, and the Chief Election Officer declared him elected on October 21, 2026. The City's results print no elector organization for any candidate, and VoteMate lists him as an independent. The Tri-Cities Dispatch reported that the four incumbents on the ballot were the top four vote-getters.","The City's council page says he grew up in Coquitlam, earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics at Simon Fraser University and a law degree at Thompson Rivers University, and was called to the British Columbia bar in 2017, with a practice in contract and property law. The page lists him as a past co-vice chair of the SHARE Family and Community Services Society and 43 Housing Society boards, a director of The People's Pantry Food Recovery Society and a coach with Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club. The biography he gave VoteMate repeats the degrees and says he has been a lawyer for 10 years. voche.me has not checked these with the Law Society or the societies. The Dispatch reported that he was first elected in 2022, and the City's minutes of March 27, 2023 list him present at a Council-in-Committee meeting. The home page of his campaign site, as the Internet Archive saved it on October 23, 2026, lists eight platform headings: housing, transportation, parks and recreation, public safety, environment, economy and business, property taxes and community infrastructure.","Housing unit mix is the issue the record shows him raising most often. The Dispatch reported that on July 6, 2026, when council first considered a policy capping studios and one-bedroom units at 60 per cent of a project, he said it \"misses the mark by a wide margin\", argued that two- and three-bedroom units should be 60 per cent and studios under 10 per cent, and voted against advancing it, 8 to 1. On July 27 the final rules, with studios capped at 25 per cent, passed 7 to 2 with him and Mayor Richard Stewart opposed. He opposed a one-year extension for a 118-unit Thompson Avenue townhouse project in July 2026 because of its studio and one-bedroom units, a one-year extension for a 156-unit Harrison and Kemsley project in September 2026, and the rezoning of the same 156-unit Oakdale project on September 28, 2026, which passed 8 to 1, Freshet News reported. In April 2026 he and Councillor Teri Towner voted against a 27-storey tower and rental block at 727 North Road, Freshet News reported; he said 22 per cent studios \"is just too high.\" In June 2026 he voted for a 404-unit townhouse project on Burke Mountain, calling three-bedroom townhouses \"the new single detached home\" for younger generations. In 2023 he cast the one vote against a Burke Mountain subdivision of 19 single-family lots, the Dispatch reported in September 2026.","In December 2025 he voted for the 2026 budget and its 3.37 per cent tax increase and said the tax increases planned for the following years, near seven per cent, were not sustainable for any household, the Dispatch reported. In July 2026 he said Surrey's refusal to follow Metro Vancouver's water restrictions was frustrating \"in an election year\". In the Dispatch's questionnaire of October 13, 2026 he said Coquitlam needs more townhouses and rowhouses with three or more bedrooms, that he accepts no contributions from developers, that the 3.37 per cent increase was reasonable, and that council's top priority should be delivering the same services at tax rates residents can afford. In his Freshet News profile he listed the Mundy Park Pool at $2 a person and the doubled commercial and office space rule near Burquitlam station among council's work.","teal","editorial","Councillor, City of Coquitlam",[32,38],{"period":33,"title":30,"description":34,"source":35},"2022 to now","The Dispatch reported that he was first elected in 2022.
