New Plymouth District Council
The New Plymouth District Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 14 councillors and the mayor. This election is for the five councillors elected by all voters in the city. The other councillors will be elected to represent wards (areas in the city). This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
I believe in the district I live in but feel councillors are taking ratepayers for granted. Our people count. Businesses count. Cleanliness across our district counts.
About me
Two things are drivers for public office, people of charisma and people of character. More often they are not found together. I bring character and a promise to civic duty by the experience I have in public office.
My priorities
- Keeping Three Waters as our asset of New Plymouth. By bringing those Three Waters up to full integrity.
- Bring back rates from the 6 percent growth course that it is on. Keeping council focused on needs not wants.
- Improve public transport and support the Taranaki Regional council in its expansion of it.
