Why I'm standing

I am proud of Rotorua City and I come into council with fresh eyes to plan our future and get the city back on track as a tourist destination.

About me

I have lived in Rotorua for 23 years and I have been treasurer of the Rotorua rock club, volunteered at the SPCA and Riding for Disabled. I am also the conveyer for the children's fish out.

My priorities

Housing for the homeless. This is a must do for all of Rotorua. Then crime will come down.
Get our city ready for tourists. Fix the roads and gardens.
Reduce the spending and develop our city to be a safe place to walk in at night.
