Jennifer Smith

Over the past nine months I have knocked on nearly 4,000 doors, written 60 blog posts, made over 500 Tweets, presented my views and ideas through debates, interviews and questionnaires, and spoken with hundreds upon hundreds of Ward 2 residents.

But in the end, none of that really matters.  In the end it all comes down to you, the voter, and who you will chose to represent you for the next four years.

In the end, the only question you need to ask is, "Why should I vote for Jennifer Smith?"

1) I will put Ward 2 First

I don't just live in the heart of Ward 2 - I work here, I shop here, I've raised my son here, and I hope to spend the rest of my life here. I am passionate about this town and this neighbourhood, and I truly believe that by revitalizing and reinvesting in Ward 2, we can once again make Milton the kind of town we all want to live in.

2) I will speak up for you

How do you know this? Because I already have - about the library, about bike lanes, about road safety - even while our current representatives were silent. I will continue to speak up as your councillor, and I will make sure I get results for you.

3) I will listen to you and keep you informed

I already have - through this website, through social media, and by going door to door and speaking with you personally. And I will continue to do so as your councillor - even when it's not an election year.

4) I have specific, practical solutions to the problems we face

I have detailed many of these proposals on this blog, dealing with everything from road safety to heritage to downtown revitalization. As your representative, I will work with staff and my fellow councillors to put these ideas into practice.

5) I will bring real leadership to the council table.

I have already demonstrated leadership and teamwork by getting results for Ward 2 on road safety and bike lanes, and by working alongside fellow candidates to raise over $5,700 for Milton District Hospital. It will not take me three years, or two years, or even six months to get to work for you. I plan to hit the ground running, and I am truly looking forward to working with our new team on Council.
