Why I'm standing
Masterton is a wonderful town. It's time for a change with a new team to represent the community properly.
About me
I have a lifetime experience of manufacturing companies employing large numbers of people with relations trusted to me. Born in Carterton, love Masterton. I have the energy as a young pensioner to lead the community. I'll be in a Rotarian member for 30-odd years got involved in local governance more recently.
My priorities
- Slow down rates and spending.
- Keep developing more cycleways around town with roundabouts.
- New train tracks to Palmerston North.
