Why I'm standing
I want to serve the community and am concerned that increased rate rises are unsustainable long-term.

My priorities
- I want to restore confidence through strong governance around management of limited resources.
- I want to deliver well-maintained roads and lighting to increase user safety.
- I want to review council fees for sports facilities, we need to limit barriers/costs to families.
