Why I'm standing

I am running for council because after 12 years of living in Te Awa Kairangi ki Uta I have not seen councillors deliver on their election promises. I know we can do better for our rangatahi and for Upper Hutt.

About me

I have lived in Upper Hutt for 12 years and both my children are #bornandbred. I have extensive emergency management experience and was in the army for 18 years. I believe in Upper Hutt.

My priorities
  1. Council transparency.
  2. Sustainable and long term planning.
  3. Environmental restoration and preservation.
