Thank you, Port Coquitlam. I am deeply humbled and grateful for the trust you have placed in me once again. I love this community, I believe in its people, and I have never taken for granted the privilege of working on your behalf. To everyone who supported me, volunteered, knocked on doors, put up a sign, or simply offered a kind word along the way, thank you. And to those who voted differently, I want you to know that I work for you too. Every single person in Port Coquitlam deserves a Mayor who listens, works hard and puts their interests first. I’ve always believed that public service isn’t about titles or political ambition. It’s about people. It’s about doing what’s right, even when it isn’t easy. It’s about respecting the people who work hard every day, raise families, contribute to their communities and simply want a fair shot at a good life. Those are the values I was raised with. They’re the values that have guided me as Mayor, and they always will. We live in a time when too many people are losing confidence that government understands their struggles or is capable of making their lives better. I believe we can restore that confidence. Not through slogans or empty promises, but through hard work, competence over ideology, and results people can actually see and feel. That’s what we’ve worked to demonstrate here in Port Coquitlam. And it’s what I intend to keep doing. Tonight, I’m grateful for this strong vote of confidence from Port Coquitlam. I’m grateful for my family, grateful for this remarkable community, and grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the people and the place I love. Thank you, PoCo.

I’ve lived in Port Coquitlam my whole life. It’s where Blaire and I are raising our boys, and there’s nowhere else we’d rather call home. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and I’m asking for your support to keep working hard and delivering for PoCo. On October 17, I’d be honoured to earn your vote for Mayor.
