Your Voice Will Be Heard

Burlington is one of the best places to live in the country. Its residents expect excellent public education, public healthcare, affordable housing, and a strong voice representing them at Queen’s Park. Since 2018, constituents looking for help in these and other areas have been sorely disappointed with the lack of transparency and accountability and shocked by the tinge of corruption, the lies, the flagrant denial of human rights by the use of the Nothwithstanding clause, and obsene fiscal mismanagement of hard-earned taxpayer dollars.

“My reputation is an open book. As an elected official, I will be your voice.” Andrea

Burlington's Provincial Voting Record 2007-2022

Burlington is progressive!

In every provincial election since 2007, over 50% of Burlington voters have chosen progressive parties. However, the PCs have won four out of the last five elections due to vote-splitting among progressive voters.

In the 2022 election, the NDP had a strong advantage with an incumbent candidate, while the PCs and Liberals ran unknowns. Despite this, the NDP’s vote share fell by over 10 percentage points.

It’s time to unite the progressive vote—supporting public education, healthcare, long-term care, affordable housing, and responsible fiscal management—behind a strong, trusted candidate with a proven record of integrity, accountability, and transparency in office.
