Why I'm standing
I want to ensure every voice has a representative that listens to them. I listen. And I get answers, and traction. I'm passionate about our region and want it to continue to be a great place to live, work and play.
About me
I do the reading and extra research to make informed decisions at the council table. I've had 100% attendance of council meetings. I am on every committee, representing our people across all council issues. If I'm concerned about issues, I have them addressed.
My priorities
- Improve our Three Waters infrastructure to improve the wellbeing of the environment and people.
- Vibrant communities that are self-determining, self-sufficient and prosperous.
- Improved road maintenance and capital improvements to address our deficit roading network.
