Tell us a little bit about yourself:

"I've been in the real estate industry for the last 42 years, I'll be turning 65 in February," he says. "So I figured this was a good opportunity to run for council, and I'm very concerned about the water."

What is the main part of your platform?:

"There's a lot of things that I would like to change in the town, our tax information, so we can compare our properties when we get them assessed. Water is also a big thing, stopping tax increases is another thing, those are the main things I'm running for."

Why do you believe you'd make a good councillor?:

"Well I have the time, I've been elected on boards and community associations for seven years, I have some experience. I think I have the capability of getting the water, I think that's a big thing I feel it's really affected the town of Okotoks."

The Municipal Election goes Monday, Oct. 16.
