Why I'm standing

I am not happy with how things have been run for many years. I want to make a difference to my community.

About me

I stand up for those who are too shy to speak out for themselves. I do not like seeing disadvantaged people suffer. I have been in business with my husband for about 40 years providing an essential service to farmers in my district. I love to help people realise their true potential. I am involved with helping to feed and clothe homeless people.

My priorities
  1. Promote a healthy lifestyle, community awareness and support for all.
  2. Rate affordability and stability. Cutting costs inside council to reduce rating burden.
  3. Honesty and accountability of council and open public access to council on any matter.
