Why I'm standing
Masterton is a great place to live, but right now there is a huge gulf between council and community and that needs to be addressed.
About me
I have strong values, proven leadership skills and, most of all, the experience of four terms on council.
My priorities
- Enhancement of our water infrastructure to the point where health and safety is no longer a concern.
- Enhancement of our roading particularly in the rural areas.
- Build a much better working relationship between council and community.
