Wellington City Council
The Wellington City Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 15 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the city). Three councillors will be elected from the Wharangi/Onslow-Western ward. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
The council has completely lost its way. It needs to be focusing on providing core services, not pandering to dubious ideologies.
About me
Having lived in Wellington from a child, I appreciate the reasons why people live here and why they bring up their families here. I am committed to keeping the best of Wellington, while ensuring its proper functioning.
My priorities
- Deliver on core services, such as the Three Waters (pipes).
- Scrap the Zero Carbon policy and stop the rollout of the cycle network.
- Scrap the policy of open-ended expansion of reserves at the expense of private property.
