Why I'm standing

I am running for election because the council is not doing enough to combat climate change, and I want to work hard to push for better results for everyone in the future of this city.

About me

I've lived in the Spreydon ward for the majority of my life. I have a burning passion for the future of this city. I care about this city, and I want the absolute best for it so I will work hard within the community to ensure that we get the best outcome.

My priorities
  1. Work with local communities to design the best cycleways for their area so that everyone is safe.
  2. Upgrade our Metro system to be more reliable and cover more of the city.
  3. Acquire new plots of land through the council to create green spaces for community usage.
