City Councillor – Ahuriri Ward

Why I'm standing

I often see political organisations put energy (and your money) into treating symptoms instead of dealing with the underlying causes, and while I understand that everything is a balancing act, I advocate for public money spent on things that actually get to the heart of issues. I'm passionate about supporting our people, especially those who need a hand up, and ensuring our built assets and infrastructure are properly looked after.

About me

I've loved the variety and complexity of work in my first term as a councillor and believe I'm only getting started. I have a background in engineering management, have travelled the world and am proud to call Napier my home. I'm passionate about representing the community, providing a voice for people and creating meaningful change for our city. I listen carefully, work hard and stand up for what's right.

My priorities
  1. Properly fund asset and building maintenance – we need to look after what we've already got.
  2. Plan for the future while addressing the needs of today – we all know the big issues on our horizon.
  3. Advocate for local democracy – work with government so local government's future meets your needs.
