Why I'm standing

To make decisions for future generations, not for 20 years ago. That means bold action on housing, climate and transport, for a fairer, greener and more resilient city.

About me

I have shown that I stand for open local government and that I don't shy away from big problems and solutions. I am a strategic decision maker but also an empathetic community leader.

My priorities

Build more homes with infrastructure and community resources to support them.
Provide safe, low carbon transport choices for all.
Create a greener, more beautiful and resilient city for all.
