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
- Council transparency.
- Sustainable and long term planning.
- Environmental restoration and preservation.
