Why I'm standing
I am passionate about Paraparaumu and the Kāpiti region. I live with my wife and our pre and school-aged children, close to my mother, who is a 50-year Paraparaumu resident and senior citizen. I was born at Paraparaumu hospital and grew up in Kāpiti, attending Paraparaumu College before venturing overseas. I returned to Paraparaumu six years ago, knowing there is no better place to raise my family.
About me
I will advocate for and ensure that all of our community's voice is heard, from our youth to our senior citizens.
My priorities
- Engaging with, listening to and reporting back to Paraparaumu.
- Stop any additional spending on Te Uruhi/the Kāpiti Gateway, cost of over $7.8 million is far too high.
- Fighting for affordable rates and ensuring that Kāpiti Coast District Council's expenditure is beneficial and accountable.
