Life on the Campaign Trail: Balancing Advocacy and Community Engagement with Family and Work Commitments

​Balancing family life with civic duty is part of the job. Earlier this week, I stopped by MP Kristina Tesser Derksen’s open house in the evening at Lyla’s House coffee shop to discuss Milton’s infrastructure funding challenges.

​Infrastructure is the foundation of our community’s future. If we want Milton to continue to be a place where our children can thrive, we need:

  • Sustainable service levels that keep pace with community growth.
  • Proactive asset management to avoid handing deferred investments as a future tax increase to future generations.
  • Our fair share of reliable funding from senior levels of government.

​I’m committed to doing the work—and happily juggling the parental duties along the way.
