Christchurch City Council
The Christchurch City Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 16 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the city). One councillor will be elected from the Halswell ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
I got to grow up in Halswell instead of a Romanian orphanage and the job of representing Halswell is not one I'll ever take for granted. This is an area I take extreme pride in and work hard for every day. I've been here 31 years and will work hard to ensure that Halswell remains a great place to live for future generations in another 31 years time. I'm running because I care.
About me
I know what it feels like to show up to Council with hundreds of signatures on a petition that get ignored. I've learnt from this and understand what it takes to listen. I have a crystal clear understanding that this job is to represent the communities interests, not self-interests. I've accepted $0 in donations with no outside influences, influencers or interferences in my campaign and will only be accountable to the people I represent.
My priorities
- Address the issue of growth and outdated infrastructure in Halswell which isn't keeping up.
- Rebuild trust between council and residents, starting with a three-year pay-freeze for councillors.
- Deliver better transparency, starting by making voting records of councillors available online.
