Why I'm standing
My background and experience has been in local and central government and having worked as Communications Manager at Christchurch City Council, and in The Beehive, I have skills I want to use.
About me
I've sat in many Christchurch City Council meetings, I know government (eg The Beehive, housing, digital, corrections, statistics) grew up locally and I want to give back and make Rangiora and North Canterbury even better.
My priorities
- To support the prudent foundations of past councils and current directions and priorities.
- To keep our council as sensible and democratic, despite any attacks on democracy and law and order.
- To promote greater social cohesion through priorities of council and engaging with local communities.
