Why I'm running

A few minutes on who I am, what I've done, and what I want to do for WFN.

My priorities for WFN

Protecting rights.

Using my growing legal network, education, and knowledge of Aboriginal law to ensure WFN's rights are understood, defended, and never taken for granted.

Finding opportunity.

Leveraging business experience and relationships to pursue economic development that works for our community.

Building independence.

Growing WFN's own revenue and capacity so we govern ourselves on our own terms, preserve our culture, and look after our people.
