Why I'm standing

I love representing my rural community and understand farming. I am proud of where we have come but there is still more work to do.

About me

I have empathy and am trained in decision making. I know that what got us here, won't get us there – we must adapt and thrive. I am a doer, I just don't talk about it.

My priorities
  1. Keep farmers farming. Be responsive to local needs, eg roading, water and community.
  2. Keep our community safe and an affordable place to do business.
  3. Champion local democracy.
Current role
