University of Windsor's "The Lance" meets with Laurie

It is my experience of working with organizations at all levels of government to advocate for people for over 20 years that makes me the best candidate suited to represent the people of Ward 7.

The youth unemployment rate in this area is at critical highs—it is unacceptable.

Let’s work together – business, labour, education and government—to address this crisis of youth unemployment.  The mechanisms are already in place, we just need to make it work better.

We need to…

— Reinstate the auditor general
— Invest in more infrastructure
— Accessible regional transportation that works
— Restore community gardens

Bring back the neighborhoods in Ward 7 where kids can play in the park, where we can walk to the store or ride our bikes down a proper bike lane and be protected by more than a line painted down the road.
