Why I'm standing
I have a very wide range of experiences, gathered across the world and believe the knowledge enables me to make a difference to the Waimate District.
About me
I believe in representational government, so as a councillor I am there to represent the people of Waimate, but by the same token I am not afraid to make the hard decisions if that is what it takes.
My priorities
- Work with local business, big and small to promote the economy of Waimate.
- Ensure that the benefits of growth are used to increase rate payer services.
- Promote education at all levels in order to promote the economy.
