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).

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
  1. Keeping Three Waters as our asset of New Plymouth. By bringing those Three Waters up to full integrity.
  2. Bring back rates from the 6 percent growth course that it is on. Keeping council focused on needs not wants.
  3. Improve public transport and support the Taranaki Regional council in its expansion of it.
