Why Politics

I'm running for mayor because I believe in public service; respect for the importance of democracy was instilled in me by my parents and grandparents.

The mayor's job is challenging one. We've come through a couple of tough years. The challenges that we face in the days ahead require a thorough knowledge of how city hall works and more importantly how our connections with senior levels of government work. It is important to have someone with council experience step forward for the mayor's job.

I believe that over the last eight years serving on council I have gained the experience and the ability to see the value in building a team that can move the city forward. On October 15th, please consider voting Ross Siemens for Mayor and I promise to keep moving Abbotsford forward in a positive direction.
