Why I'm standing
I'm just an ordinary Hamiltonian. I don't have connections to political parties, big business, property developers or lobby groups. I do have connections to ordinary Hamiltonians, many of whom are struggling. I am connected to both workers and unemployed people, families, pensioners and youth that are doing it tough. I am connected to home owners that are tired of ever increasing rates bills and renters struggling with housing insecurity. I want to represent these people.
About me
I am a qualified journalist. Journalists can ask the hard questions, they can talk and relate to all sorts of people, and they can smell BS a mile away. I'm also a mum. Mums manage budgets and know the difference between a necessity and a nice to have (and can also smell BS a mile away).
My priorities
- People: ensure council decisions make Hamiltonians' lives better and easier, now and into the future.
- Debt and spending: prioritise essential services and infrastructure over gold-standard vanity projects.
- Representation: increase opportunities for Hamiltonians to have a real say in city decisions.
