Why I'm standing
I have been disappointed with the leadership shown in the last period and feel that I have the skillset to create a positive working council team. I believe we live in an amazing district and by working together as one we can make it even better.
About me
I have now lived in this area for the last 27 years and I am passionate about this area and its people. From my previous role in policing, I have created many different working networks with numerous positive people. I wish to utilise this knowledge and skillset for the betterment of our community, by placing our community first.
My priorities
- Positive leadership, with a can-do attitude to revitalise our communities.
- Further development of youth programs to give our rangatahi maximum opportunity to succeed.
- Strong community consultation on the concept plans to spend the Three Waters reform money.
