Mayor of Dunedin
The mayor is the leader of the council. Their job is to promote a vision for the city and lead the development of the council’s plans, policies and budget. The mayor appoints the deputy mayor, establishes committees for particular topics, and appoints chairs for those committees. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Dunedin City Council mayoral election.

Why I'm standing
I am running for election to use my skills and experience as a proven facilitator and I do not support party politics at local government level.
About me
I have had nine years experience as an elected councillor and now that I have taken some time away from the council, I am fresh and ready to use my ability to listen and respond positively.
My priorities
- Introduce a full review of CBD parking and access.
- Provide better transparency through meaningful consultation and accountability.
- Protecting and enhancing our assets.
