My name is Murry Krause and I am seeking my seventh term on city council. Currently I am the chair of the city's Collective Impact "Raise up Our Kids" Committee, current past president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and am a member of the provincial minister's Forum on Poverty Reduction. I have chaired numerous committees for the City of Prince George over the years, including the Finance and Audit Committee, the 100th Anniversary Committee, Intercultural Committee and the Heritage Commission.
I am a city council representative on the Regional District of Fraser Fort George, where I chair the Regional Hospital District Board and the Cultural Services Advisory Committee.
I am a past chair of the city's Homelessness and Affordable Housing Committee and I was a committee member for UBCM's Special Committee on Affordable Housing, that looked at affordable housing in B.C. That final report helped inform the current provincial government housing strategy.
I am very passionate about poverty reduction, homelessness and affordable housing. A healthy community is important to and for everyone. My entire career has been dedicated to social service and health service provision.
I am hoping to be a member of a team that was effective as we have been over the past four years. The exemplary leadership of our current mayor and dedicated council colleagues have inspired me to put my name forward one more time. I truly believe that we all want Prince George to excel and be everything that it possibly can be.

I am hoping that you will consider supporting Murry Krause on Oct. 20.
