Campaign budget? Receiving financial assistance? Some fundraising with family, friends and other Greens supporters. However, my campaign has been largely focused on volunteer community efforts, particularly letterboxing.

Three most important issues in your ward? In Charlemont Ward, there is a distinct lack of infrastructure, including bus routes and bike paths. Local climate action is a significant issue across all wards and communities. The community is feeling the cost of living crisis, we need to ensure twe continue to support vulnerable members.
