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