Why I'm standing

I'm standing because I have the time and inclination. And I wanted there to be an election, not just an appointing.

About me

I have resided in Riverton since 2003. Built my home here, with dad in 2011. My family has been in Western Southland since 1862. I like it here and want to do something for the place.

My priorities

  1. Listen.
  2. Liaise.
  3. Do something.
