Why I'm standing
I'm running for mayor as I believe our city needs a greater focus on leadership of the elected members and to empower the wishes of ratepayers. I also believe we have lost sight of our closed museum and the disability workers at the recycling plants whose jobs could be at risk.
About me
I am a good voice for ratepayers as I have led the local ratepayers group for two terms, which gives me community feedback from a wide range of the community. I've also spent most of my life managing both government and non government social services agencies. This gives me knowledge of those who struggle the most with life and how actions impact on their families.
My priorities
- Build and open a new museum. This can be done cheaper and quicker than the current planning.
- Secure the jobs of the 40 disability workers at recycling plant – they have few options elsewhere.
- Oppose the government Three Waters reform. We have done well to date so should not subsidise those who haven't.
