The party’s 2026 executive committee page lists her as Secretary and names someone else as Deputy Leader. The Canadian Elections Database, a site that compiles results, lists her with 955 votes in Nepean-Carleton in 2014, 503 in Ottawa-Vanier in 2015, 360 in Ottawa-Centre in 2019 and 335 as a Libertarian in Ottawa-Vanier in 2022, and shows no win. voche.me has not checked those counts against Elections Ontario or Elections Canada.

These are her own statements, and voche.me has not checked them with those employers or universities. She says she is running to bring openness and accountability to City Hall, and writes that she sees project delays and cost overruns on almost every City project of the last 20 years. She would not back new large projects, would plan projects that can finish within one term, and would publish online dashboards that show the progress of every project and construction job in the ward. In the CBC News questionnaire she names the loss of the middle class as the biggest challenge, would end the City worker office attendance requirement where a job allows work from home, remove the three-bag limit on garbage, and look at lower property taxes for businesses.
