Mike has served as the MPP for Kitchener – Conestoga since 2018 and is currently seeking re-election as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the 2025 provincial election.

Since first being elected Mike has championed many local initiatives around healthcare, transit, and infrastructure, including:

– A new Regional acute care hospital

– Nurse Practitioner led and community care clinics

– The Wellesley recreation complex

– Improved GO train service along the Kitchener line

– Road and bridge infrastructure in our Townships

He also served as Ontario’s Minister of Red Tape Reduction, helping people and businesses save over $1 billion dollars in compliance costs and over 1.5 million hours of unnecessary paperwork.  As a former small business owner, he truly understands that this translates into being able to re-invest in your business and also spend more time doing what matters most…being with family.

Mike is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys spending time fishing and exploring the many lakes and rivers across Ontario.

Mike, his wife Kim and their five children live in west Kitchener.
