Regional Councillor | Ward 1
Supporting Our Future
A practical, transparent campaign focused on affordability, responsible growth and stronger communities.
Why I am running
Stephen is running because major decisions should be supported by evidence, explained clearly and shaped by meaningful resident input. He wants Ward 1 to have a practical voice at both Ajax Council and Durham Regional Council.

Financial Accountability
Responsible spending and municipal affordability
Stephen proposes a temporary hiring freeze during a staffing and spending review, with protection for essential frontline services. He will seek clearer project reporting and freeze his own councillor pay or donate an unavoidable increase.
