Why I'm standing

Our district's liveability and preparedness are not down to chance. It will take foresight, wide-ranging skills, and courage to keep and improve them. My background is in national conservation and recreation advocacy, farming, governance, teaching, and journalism. I embrace critical thinking and stand on democracy. I have the knowledge, know-how, and fortitude to shape the future of the Geraldine District as Geraldine Ward Councillor on the Timaru District Council.

About me

I believe in democracy, working across political lines, the benefits of 'local', critical thinking, and that the high health of nature is critical to our future. I work in collaboration with diverse groups on the NZ Landcare Trust and the Land Safety Forum. I have driven development of Geraldine's new strategic plan as a Geraldine Community Board member. As Federated Mountain Clubs' Immediate Past President, I am a practised advocate for conservation and recreation.

My priorities
  1. Promote future-proofing of local government, based on genuine democracy and local ownership.
  2. Implement Geraldine's new strategic plan, which was developed by the whole community.
  3. Restore and protect our natural environment.
