Why I'm standing

We have a major threat to our community if the Three Waters reform bill proceeds. We have great infrastructure. Your rates would more than double under this bill. I care about our community having been in business for 53 previous years and a councillor for three years.

About me

I bring to the table my business experiences, strategic thinking, my listening skills and ability to form a balanced view on all aspects of our daily lives.

My priorities
  1. Abolish the Three Waters reform bill. I personally spoke to my submission to the hearing committee.
  2. Economic development. This will facilitate employment in our district.
  3. Well-being of all our community.
