Why I'm standing
I love Masterton town and the region, and I want to see it at its best. There are many positive actions happening for our town, but there are also huge gaps on some important issues that need addressing, now. No more talk, no more consulting, let's just get on with the job with more action, less noise!

Governance and strategy lights my fire. I bring an extensive skill set to the councillor role. I am passionate about our community, and I am driven and focused. I am a straight shooter and will confidently dig deep on issues and ask the questions ensuring the answers paint a whole picture for the community to understand.
My priorities
- Infrastructure – get the basics right and ensure comprehensive maintenance plan is in place.
- Rates affordability – ensuring everyone is paying a fair price.
- Civic centre and priority projects-re-engage, re-assess viable solutions. What can the town afford?
