Why I'm standing

My vision for the city of Wellington: environment - a city that is sustainable, eco-friendly, and environmentally conscious. Business/economy - progressive business hub that attracts events and conferences to the city. Cultural - Wellington to be inclusive, culturally diverse and the place to be. Socially - a safe, connected and accessible city.

About me

I have lived in Brooklyn for the last 20 years; I am married with two older kids. I am currently an active volunteer in my community and work full time. I would love to serve the Southern Ward community.

My priorities
  1. Decline Three Waters, let Wellington continue the good work it is doing.
  2. Address the south coast and the rising sea level. Come up with a plan.
  3. Ensure the wastewater treatment plant is built.
