Why I'm standing

Offer citizens feeling powerless against council's many bad decisions to take back control by electing RDRR candidates who are committed to 'deep change' in council, to fix council and fix Rotorua.

About me

My key point of difference with other mayoral candidates is that I have the qualifications, expertise and experience to reform the governance function of council, its priorities and its services.

My priorities

Restore democratic and effective decision making to elected members with functional subcommittees.
Review the legality of the Te Arawa Partnership Agreement and review all policy advisory services.
Revise council priorities to minimize rates rises, retire debt and boost business, jobs and wellbeing.
