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