I am running for re-election because I am committed to our district. I am passionate about ensuring our district is the best place for our residents to live and work. I have served one term and I feel my voice is critical at the council table.
I have a passion for community. I am involved in the creative sector and have a business management background. I was born and bred in Dargaville, raised in a state home with a single mum. I feel I bring a wealth of lived experience as a candidate for the Wairoa Ward.
