MEET CARMEN

I am proud to be running for City Council in the Elmwood-East Kildonan ward, a community that has been home to me both as a child and now again as an adult. 

With more than 15 years of experience working for the City, I bring a deep understanding of how municipal services function and how they can be improved to better serve residents.

As a lifelong advocate for others, I’ve dedicated my personal and professional life to helping people navigate challenges and create better outcomes. I’m also a parent to three grown children and a proud grandparent to a toddler grandson and, like many families in our neighbourhood, I care deeply about the future we’re building together.

I’m running for Council because I see the issues that impact us every day: rising crime, persistent poverty, aging roads and sidewalks, lack of affordable housing, concerns with our public transit system, and the growing cost of living. 

I believe our community deserves strong, responsive leadership that will fight for practical, compassionate solutions.

Together, we can make Elmwood-East Kildonan a safer, more affordable, and more connected place to call home.
