Why I'm standing

We need to leave our planet in a better state for the next generation. We need stronger action on climate change.

About me

I have completed three years at Horizons and remain committed to being connected with the community and ensuring the community voice is represented in decision making. I put the time and effort into understanding the issues we face and the changes we need to make, alongside the community. I continue to put priority into hapū and iwi relationships to ensure we get the best outcomes possible.

My priorities
  1. Action on climate change. Reduce emissions and build community resilience.
  2. Increase public transport to the point it is a viable transport option in urban areas.
  3. Enhance water quality so it is safe for recreational contact and supports our complex biodiversity.
