Why I'm standing
I believe we are lucky to live in such a nice city but we have some real challenges ahead. I am concerned that the city is becoming to expensive and unaffordable for many people. Many people feel they are not being engaged with properly by the council, hence low participation. I would like to contribute to solving those issues and working with a team that is committed to making Wellington the best it can be.
About me
I have always actively contributed to the community through sport, charity, work and volunteer work. I have served as a Justice of the Peace for the last twenty years as a volunteer. I hold a masters degree in Business Administration and have the work experience and life experience to contribute meaningfully and make a difference. I live and work in the local area and know many of the issues that affect people.
My priorities
- Ensuring there is good, reliable and affordable public transport with the supporting infrastructure.
- Ensure the large council debt is controlled and rate rise kept to a minimum.
- Plan for climate change and future-proof the city for water supply and civil emergencies.
