Why I'm standing

I'm a traditional councillor who wants to serve Wellingtonians by making the city affordable, even more liveable, and ensuring it remains the place of choice for future generations to live and that retired people aren't forced away, due to the cost of living here.

About me

I'm a proud Wellington who puts people first when serving the city I love. I was born and raised here; the 6th generation of my family to live in Lambton. I grew up in politics,and my values are clear: I am decisive, clear and consistent, whilst being collegial, pragmatic, and fair.

My priorities
  1. Focus on reducing council costs and waste, so our rates stop rocketing.
  2. Restore confidence in council and its decisions, and listening to what communities really want.
  3. Deliver core services better and improving relationships with government. Do less, better.
