Why I'm standing
When I see a problem, I don't believe in waiting for someone else to fix it. I believe in putting my hand up, digging in, and getting the job done, which is why I'm standing in this election. Palmerston North needs capable representatives who take a common sense approach to decision making. I believe I have the skills and ability to make the tough decisions needed in a period of high inflation and rising costs.
About me
I bring unique perspective and experience to the role. I work full time and study in Palmerston North. As a Youth MP, I was one of New Zealand's top youth policy developers. On the Palmerston North Youth Council, I have helped administer scholarships to support talented young people. Across campaigns I have engaged with community groups from every sector. I have worked in commercial real estate and seen council from the perspective of new businesses.
My priorities
- Review council spending priorities: we need to be disciplined in reducing unnecessary spending.
- Stop Three Waters: I will join the group of local representatives challenging the government's plan.
- Improve youth engagement: I aim to visit every school in the region to discuss the role of council.
