Why I'm standing

I believe the city we live in Kirikiriroa is the most beautiful city with beautiful sceneries and a beautiful river. I've experienced a health system not getting things done. I want to make things happen and get things done.

About me

No response

My priorities
  1. Freeze rates to relieve pressures off home owners and people with business, as people have been doing it tough especially with inflation being high and everything going up.
  2. Repair potholes, also footpaths which are unsafe to walk on, especially people with disabilities. Make it safe for everyone, including our kue/kaumatua cyclists.
  3. Better transport system – alternative transportation making it safe and accessible for our elderly and everyone to move and get about the city safely, reducing emissions to 0 by 2025.
