Why I'm standing

I'm running to invest in communities, infrastructure and our future. We need strong voices that know how to deliver on their values.

My priorities
  1. Support environmental regeneration across the Port Hills and Ōpāwaho River.
  2. Advocate for the best facility at South Christchurch Library and keep service provision local.
  3. Deliver a step change in transport so more people can walk, cycle, use public transport.
About me

I have experience as a community board member delivering on my values: safer speeds in Beckenham, a permanent site for the South Christchurch Farmers Market, intersection and crossing upgrades across South Christchurch. I have the skills and values to represent Cashmere, and as a local resident I'm passionate about our community.
