Why I'm standing

I would like to complete the work I've started in transport and public transport.

About me

I've had 20 years of building relationships across councils and industry are now coming together for better outcomes for Canterbury.

My priorities
  1. Introduce regional rail to support carbon reduction and better mental health for commuters.
  2. Gain access to other freight options like coastal shipping and rail for Cantabrians.
  3. Ensuring all infrastructure is built simply and affordably through efficiency not gold-plating.
