Why I'm standing
I want voters to be involved and excited about Foxton, Foxton Beach Opportunities and challenges abound. My vision is for a thriving community that exceeds people's expectations. A community where you are listened to, where your contribution is valued. A community where stuff gets done through great leadership. I get stuff done. That's why I want to be your your community board member.
