Tom Gibbs has spent the last two terms on council for the R.M. of Dauphin and for the most part, it's been very enjoyable.
"We have a pretty diverse council and it makes for great conversation and constructive conversation," said Gibbs.
Now as we look forward to the Municipal Election on October 26, Tom is running again; however, this time he is running for the position of Reeve. In talks with current Reeve, Ron Ryz, Ron mentioned to Tom that he didn't have enough time to commit fully to the position; however, Ryz is running for council.
Tom says he has plenty of time and he is fully committed to the R.M. of Dauphin.
"What I've witnessed during my time on council is that there needs to be continuity between staff, previous councillors and the new councillors," said Gibbs. "I want to help provide that continuity to help build and grow on."
If he is elected, Tom would look forward to working with staff and council to provide the great services to the R.M's residents that they expect.
"Also at the lowest cost possible with the understanding that it's a balancing act, good roads and great services come at a cost," said Gibbs. "I would also look forward to working with the previous council, indigenous groups and neighbouring municipalities to try and bring additional trade and commerce into our region. We are stronger as a group than we are as individuals."
Tom is going up against Ernie Sirski for reeve.
Stay tuned in the coming days as we will continue to highlight this year's candidates in Dauphin and the RM of Dauphin. You can still register to run for Mayor or council until September 20.
