Why I'm standing

I'm standing for re-election because I believe in Ōtautahi-Christchurch. I want to work with communities and businesses to ensure our city has a just transition to a low-carbon sustainable city that is accessible to everyone. Our environment needs to be healthy and communities liveable. I want to continue to stand up for our city and the Papanui Ward. We need a strong vibrant city now and a sustainable future.

About me

I have the experience as the local city councillor for the last six years and prior to that the chair of the local community board. I am the director of the council's economic development agency. I am accessible, active in the community and get results. I live locally and am passionate about our community and our city.

My priorities
  1. Proper action on climate change, both mitigation and adaptation.
  2. A healthy natural environment with cleaner waterways, more trees planted and improved biodiversity.
  3. Better and more meaningful engagement with the people of Christchurch that is more representative.
