Christchurch City Council

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 Waimairi 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

Watching councillors vote for a $150 million stadium blowout was the inspiration for me running.

About me

I spent over a decade working in parliament (as a journalist, press secretary and parliamentary advisor). It's time now to move from behind the scenes and front up to the good citizens of Waimairi.

My priorities
  1. Honest Politics.
  2. Caring for our local environment.
  3. Fiscal responsibility.
