Refreshing Local Democracy

| Carterton District Councillor

Why I'm standing

After 21 years as district councillor, I continue to stand for rates affordability, protection for the environment and refreshing local democracy. I advocate for affordable rates with a focus on core infrastructure and ensuring ratepayers understand how their money is spent.

About me

I was bought up in Wairarapa, and apart from 15 years living in the UK, I have lived here all my life. My 18-year career in corporate IT gave me the skills and experience to run an IT business in Carterton from 1996 until 2020. Now I am the manager of Volunteering Wairarapa.

My priorities
  1. Make rates affordable – control rates increases because ratepayers are feeling overburdened.
  2. Protect the environment – as climate and pollution challenges emerge, strong leadership is needed.
  3. Refresh local democracy – push back on central government's reforms and unfunded mandates.
