My name is Gary Hoffman. I have lived in Surrey for many years. I have worked for Government and in a small business environment, in the law enforcement and telecommunications fields. I can relate to the urgent issues and concerns that face our youth, families, and today's Business.

I strongly believe that Surrey can continue to economically grow and become a better place. In order to achieve this we need responsible growth, that will also incorporate the expansion of our infrastructure, recreational and outdoor facilities and meet the needs of citizens and business alike. I recognize vital issues such as roads and transit that need to be addressed, but I believe that it is essential to maintain effective, efficient government, without program cuts, unnecessary tax increases, or hidden fees.

I believe in spending our tax dollars responsibly, and doing this job with honesty, integrity, and accountability.
