Building a Better Abbotsford Together

I'm grateful for the encouragement and support I've received from people across our community.

No one runs for public office alone. This campaign has been built on the encouragement of family, friends, volunteers, business owners, and residents who believe Abbotsford deserves practical leadership, responsible financial stewardship, and a City Hall that works with people.

Below are just a few of the voices supporting my campaign.

Why I am supporting Doris for Abbotsford Council - and so should you!
As a successful entrepreneur Doris has a proven track record of providing leadership, invaluable knowledge, expert advice and guidance, thoughtful customer service and a sincere belief in meeting the needs of her clients.

She is committed to superior ethical conduct in her professional life, in her community activities and in her dealing with others.

I’m supporting Doris Woodman-McMillan for council because she will do the hard work needed to bring change to Abbotsford. That includes reviewing financial statements, taking an in-depth look at community plans and ensuring taxpayer dollars are directed toward priorities such as recreation infrastructure, a key issue in this election.

Doris will ask the hard questions that lead to better results for taxpayers.

With the significant growth challenges facing our City in the Country, Abbotsford council could use another member who understands finances.

Doris Woodman-McMillan has for many years proven herself as our local Conservative association’s trustworthy financial agent — our eyes and ears to make sure every dollar of donated money was properly accounted for.

I am confident that she will put those very same skills to good use as a member of city council.

I have worked with Doris Woodman-McMillan for more than 10 years. She has managed the bookkeeping and month-end accounting for our group of companies, represented us with CRA and worked closely with our external accountants at year-end.

With more than a dozen related companies, our accounting can be complicated. Doris helped us organize and streamline our financial processes so the companies worked together properly. She has also been a trusted source of practical advice whenever issues arose.

Doris understands numbers, but she also understands business. She asks direct questions, pays attention to the details and is not afraid to speak up when something does not make sense.

That experience and common-sense approach would be valuable on Abbotsford City Council. I am pleased to endorse Doris Woodman-McMillan for Council.

I have known Doris for about 25 years through Rotary and politics.

Over that time, Doris has shown herself to be hardworking, community-minded and dedicated.

Doris is willing to listen to different points of view and develop thoughtful solutions and positions.
I also know that Doris is very fiscally responsible. She will be a great steward of taxpayers’ money and will work to ensure residents receive the value they deserve.

I've known Doris for many years, both personally and professionally. I've seen how she thinks, how she works and, perhaps most importantly, how much she cares about people and this community.

Doris isn't afraid to ask difficult questions. She does her homework, speaks her mind and follows through. We don't always agree on everything, and that's actually one of the things I value about her. She listens, thinks things through and is willing to have an honest conversation.

I agreed to serve as Doris's campaign manager because I believe she would bring a practical, thoughtful and independent voice to Abbotsford City Council. I trust her judgment, her work ethic and her commitment to this community.

That's why I'm proud to endorse Doris Woodman-McMillan for Abbotsford City Council.
