Why I'm standing
Do we want Rotorua to be the largest social welfare footprint in NZ or a place with a healthy heart and economy? I am running for election because it is time to take action and start creating positive change for our city! I am tired of the lack of action. I believe in smart action that serves the next generation as well as ours.
About me
I bring to the table sound leadership that will serve our community strongly. I can engage and connect on every level of life. My great negotiating skills will be used for progress and better outcomes which is a large part of local politics and decision making.
My priorities
- Reversing the sale of our reserves! This is not the outcome we the people wanted!
- Reviving our economy.
- Housing – examine bureaucracy around resource consents, compliance, approvals and land use.
