About Me

My Experience

Top Priority

Todd
Sanderson

I’m a longtime Kelowna resident, CPA and local business owner with 35+ years of experience. I’ve led the Chamber, DKA and URBA and support transparent, responsible local government.

I bring 35+ years as a CPA and business advisor, including partnership roles with national accounting firms, five years on Kelowna’s audit team and extensive community leadership.

My top priority is financial accountability: ensuring every tax dollar delivers measurable value and keeping property tax increases within inflation unless exceptional circumstances are justified.

Daniel
Fritter

I'm a 41-year-old father of two young kids (ages 3 and 6) and a small business owner living in the North End.

I have worked in the publishing industry for my entire adult life, and started my own publishing company 15 years ago, best known for producing Canada's largest firearm magazine.

Community safety. Countering open drug use and reducing both homelessness and our crime rate have to be the utmost priority for any responsible government.
