Why I'm standing
I'm running because it's time. We have such a vibrant ward, and it's time we have the funding, infrastructure and attention we deserve. I have grown up walking down broken roads, flooded streets and damaged footpaths. Year after year we are told it will be fixed. I believe we need youthful energy on our board.
About me
I believe that everyone deserves a fair shot. I'm a local lad, who grew up in this ward. I was deputy-head boy at SBHS, and have strong commitments to my community. We need youthful, energetic and committed elected representatives who will work for the East. I'm studying at uni, so have the flexibility to properly support and advocate for our ward.
My priorities
- Prioritise our infrastructure. Repair roads the first time, and prevent the effects of flooding.
- Ensure that community-led organisations are supported, uplifting our youth and the ward.
- Make sure decisions are done right, with the impacts of climate change at the forefront.
