Why I'm standing

I have represented Waihi Ward on the Hauraki District Council for three years. I am seeking election for a second term. At this time it is of the utmost importance that local decisions are kept local, open and transparent, ensuring our community has a fair say on its future and direction.

About me

My priorities
  1. Facilitate a fair, open and transparent democracy where all perspectives are genuinely included.
  2. Keep rates reasonable by focusing on core services and transparent accountability for expenditure.
  3. Ensure Waihi areas are respected in the face of possible new mining operations and water reforms.
