Why I'm standing
I am worried about the council's expenditure and inefficiency.
About me
I am born and bred in Taranaki, I think I would bring a more business-orientated view and forward-thinking.
My priorities
- Keep rates to a minimum to help those that can least afford it.
- Question the location of the multi-sport hub to better serve Taranaki.
- Put steps in place to future proof public transport.
