Amanda
A Leader Rooted in Community
Serving the community is Amanda’s calling. From volunteering to leading organizations to serving as Warden, then Deputy Warden of Richmond County, she’s always focused on helping people and building stronger communities.
She believes true public service is about putting people first. It’s a skill Amanda’s honed as a community leader, wife and mother. When she ran in the 2020 Richmond County Municipal elections, in 2020 her goal was to rebuild the public’s trust and connection with their government. As Warden, she reimplemented strict accountability and transparency measures in council, improved communication with residents, and built stronger connections with nearby communities and businesses.
Amanda’s commitment to community started long before she held public office. With a Business Administration degree from St. Francis Xavier University, Amanda has focused her career on strengthening Cape Breton. As Executive Director of the Strait Area Chamber of Commerce and with Nova Scotia Community College, she brings deep experience in regional economic development and small-business advocacy. In her many leadership roles, Amanda has tackled housing, healthcare, and environmental crises to serve Nova Scotians.
Now, the Nova Scotia Liberal Party needs rebuilding to regain Nova Scotians’ trust and Amanda is ready to get to work, but she can’t do it without you. A party is bigger than one person; only by working together can we navigate this challenge toward a future Liberal-led Nova Scotia government.
Amanda is ready to meet that challenge.
