Why I'm standing
Simply put, I've got more work to do. The council needs a strong focus on getting the basics right, and a strong response at a local level to the climate and inequality crises we face. With your vote, I'll keep working for a healthier river, improved transport choice and road safety, climate action, and housing for everyone. I take each council decision seriously as we develop and deliver community-led plans for our city's future.
About me
As a Green-endorsed city councillor, for two terms I've built a track-record of working effectively with community and council colleagues to help our city be more liveable, vibrant and future-ready while navigating covid. A diligent, capable representative who listens and gets involved, I'm focused on managing the growth pressures we face, responding to the climate crisis, and ensuring basic services are delivered well. A scientist and environmental advocate, my approach is evidence-based and solution-oriented.
My priorities
- Climate solutions that cut emissions and improve our city and our personal well-being.
- A healthy Manawatū River at the centre of our outdoor play and recreation networks.
- A more vibrant city centre, people-friendly neighbourhoods and villages.
