Hamilton City Council

East General Ward
The Hamilton City Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 14 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the city). Six councillors will be elected from the East ward. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Hamilton City Council election.

Why I'm standing

I have been a union delegate and a water and wastewater plant operator. I am a pastor counsellor community worker having worked on two trusts governing and managing people. I am running for council because I believe in a post Covid-19 world with the great reset and inflation everything has changed leading to a lack of faith in what council is doing.

About me

I have worked as a union delegate governing two trusts setting up buddy support networks for people as a humanitarian. I am also a radio broadcaster promoting political ideas and views keeping me up to date with current events and people. Having been a part of the New Zealand First Party and the One Party, I am used to speaking out on issues affecting people. I am a visionary who cares.

My priorities
  1. My first priority is business development using partnership and collaboration to transform Hamilton.
  2. Responsible spending with open transparency of the books involving public audits and business grants.
  3. Community consultation where community inclusion is a part of diversity, being the people's voice.
