Why I'm standing
I want to ensure my local ward has a voice that represents them and their interests. I'm passionate about our region and want it to continue to be a great place to live, work and play.
About me
I have worked, lived and farmed in the Clutha Valley region most of my life. I have supported a lot of community events including A&P shows, farmers markets and other local events.
My priorities
- Keep rates affordable reduce unnecessary spending during a time of high interest rates and inflation
- Improve road maintenance and capital improvements to address our deficit in the roading network.
- Regain ratepayers trust in the council. Become more visible in the community.
