Why I'm standing
I'm a third generation Paeroa person. It's heart breaking to see what's become of employment here. Paeroa has become a fixed income retirement town. Our biggest employer is the council. So ok that's where we are – let's make this the best retirement town in NZ.
About me
I'm not a gregarious social person. I'm not a person who's only going to show up when there's a camera around. I don't kiss ass and I get things done.
My priorities
- Development.
- Streamlining costs.
- Waste reduction.
