Why I'm standing
My reasons for standing are to advocate for social justice, local issues, and to address climate change. I want to see a connected region that is accessible and equitable for all. A region where we address climate change over the long-term and work together in stopping the unsustainable practices damaging our environment. I also want to see Wellington reach its potential, and be a place where people, families, communities, and businesses succeed.
About me
I love living in the Hutt Valley and our city of villages. I have over 10 years of working in environmental, housing, transport, and urban development policy in the public and private sectors. I want to use the expertise and skills learned from these roles to help our communities. On the Petone Community Board, I've championed funding for our libraries, parks, road safety, and Petone Wharf. For me, community and localism are front and centre.
My priorities
- Improving our public transport by ensuring buses and trains are affordable, inclusive, and reliable.
- Protecting, restoring, and enhancing our regional parks, waterways, and biodiversity.
- Encouraging local action to tackle carbon emissions and promoting a circular economy.
