Why I'm standing
I am running for Featherston because I see a town that has so much potential in 2022 that is not being realised.
About me
I have been a small business owner, have spent 17 years as a business advisor and consultant, and am a father of 4 sons. I believe in progress and planning long term strategies that our children and grandchildren will get to enjoy.
My priorities
- Smooth transition to Three Waters. I am a supporter of it and want to make the transition smooth for us.
- Robust WiFi in the CBD. This will help existing business and can entice new business to the area.
- Transparency. I want to rebuild trust in the council that I have seen has been damaged recently.
