Why I'm standing

I love my country and have lived all over NZ. Ashburton has been the place that has really impressed me the most. I want to be apart of this town's success and to make good decisions that will have a positive effect for today and tomorrow.

About me

I'm honest and have high ethics. I believe in playing fair and working hard. I'm transparent and take responsibility for every decision I make. I believe that when you are elected by the community you are working for the people and your voice must be heard.

My priorities
  1. Full financial reports from businesses that work with council to see where we can cut costs.
  2. To make the grants more accessible to everyone for a diverse outcome.
  3. Making a hotline for road damage and having a team to attend to the callout in a timely manner.
