Why I'm standing

I have lived in the Bay for 30 years in which I have seen it develop and grow. However, Ōmokoroa is still missing what they deserve. We deserve a place where our community feels safe and looked after. I understand the challenges for families and businesses from running my own. Businesses in the community should be supported to thrive.

About me

I have run a vast number of jobs and businesses in Tauranga including my own dairy, taxi driver, horticulture and now operating a food business. Using this knowledge I have seen the changes in the Bay and I understand the changing market and the increase in diversity.

My priorities
  1. Restructure the rates schedule so that it is not based on land size.
  2. Widen road from Te Puna to Ōmokoroa to make it four lanes.
  3. Make communities feel safer with a local police station, and other public facilities.
