Why I'm standing
I'm standing for council because I believe our city is being poorly led and heading in the wrong direction. Services are failing, rates are spiralling up and the promised big infrastructure upgrades are not happening. I have the experience and expertise to get things back on track and address the big challenges the city is facing.
About me
I was born in the Hutt and have lived here for over 50 years. That, combined with my 12 years as council chief executive, mean I know our communities and what it takes to lead a council in their best interests. I have delivered numerous big infrastructure projects for the Hutt while maintaining the lowest rates increases in the country.
My priorities
- Stop the excessive rates increases by restoring discipline over spending.
- Genuinely consult on the big issues and put people before party politics.
- Get back to basics and fix the broken services.
