Why I'm standing
I put my name in as four days prior to nominations closing there was only two nominations, and I would have used a possible unopposed election to cynically highlight how bad this possible outcome is for any community representation. There is now an election and I am in the possible choices for the community. So if the community choose me I will provide an accurate picture of the value I can provide.
About me
No political alliance, ever. I have been a SME employer. I have a blended family of four children. I have coached youth and senior sport at junior, youth, and senior level for the last 20 years. I work in Vocational (Trade) training. People will describe me as positive, and encouraging, and responsible. I have a strong belief in equitable outcomes, and I am passionate about the strengths of regional New Zealand.
My priorities
- Be financially responsible now, for the current and future residents of this community.
- Iwi input is, and always will be, important in, the history, the now, and the future of this region.
- Losing control of water assets will put Hauraki bottom of the places to be resourced in NZ.
