Long-time Delta resident and labour leader Lori Mayhew has announced she is running for election to Delta council.
Mayhew brings considerable financial management and governance experience through her roles as secretary-treasurer for the 12,000 member strong MoveUP, as a board member for Working Opportunities investment fund, as a pension trustee, and as the president of the New Westminster & District Labour Council.
“Delta has been my home for over 20 years. My husband and I have been lucky enough to raise our three kids here. I’m eager to give back to my community by serving on city council and making sure Delta remains welcoming and affordable place for families,” said Mayhew.
Mayhew lives in North Delta and wants to see stronger interconnections between Delta’s various communities.
“Ladner, Tsawwassen, North Delta -- we’re one city,” said Mayhew. “We all rely on the same services and need our municipal government to deliver these services equitably across our communities. We need a way to bringing people in each of these communities together.”
Mayhew will be talking to people from all over Delta, and meeting them where they live to find out what’s important to them.
“I know what I would rank as the top three issues in Delta – housing affordability, transit, and the ALR – but I want hear what Delta residents think about these issues and where their priorities are,” she said.
Before being elected to her full-time position as secretary-treasurer with MoveUP, Mayhew worked as a claims adjuster for ICBC. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of British Columbia. Her family - husband Keith and children Sarah, Adam, and Grace – are avid sports fans who can often be found volunteering and playing on Delta’s many sports fields.
