Why I'm standing
To bring humanity, community and understanding back into our local politics, try to save democracy, the increasingly diminished agency of local government, by central government, they continue to strip us of our local democracy, without any consultation by WE THE PEOPLE. The hard-working, family-orientated, beautiful people is what keeps our society moving forward, we need to support our locals more and stop bending the knee to central government. By, of and for PEOPLE.
About me
I come from the heart, I care about people, families and our next generation, it does not seem like the current council does. I will do my best to talk with and represent all people not just some. I have spent time working in early childhood care and with troubled teens, with responsibility comes purpose for our young ones. I have determination, competitiveness, compassion and love, I will listen and work for you!
My priorities
- Introduce a tiny homes suburb (solar pannels, compostable toilets, etc) for affordable housing.
- Introduce hemp farm and processing plant, everything plastic can be made from hemp.
- Saying no to Three Waters and any undemocratic legislations to bring local voice back.
