Why I'm standing
I am worried that Ōhura and other small towns will lose their voice. Everyone deserves to be heard.
About me
I have been in the area more than 20 years, I'm family focused and run a small business. I am able to handle the pressures that community board will bring. I have the time to focus on bettering my community both for my family and the future of the residents.
My priorities
- Family focused, we need shade, water and free places for our families to gather and play all year.
- Community inclusion, our elders need help with access to services that are not digitally-based.
- Council accountability, we need more transparency around projects, timelines as well as repairs.
