Why I'm standing

I believe our mayor and councillors are not visible to the community, and there are patterns of waste over the past decades, that are not being interrupted. I believe as a councillor I will bring a level of integrity that will be palpable.

About me

I am retired from being an electrician for four years, I have completed senior programs with Landmark Worldwide as personal growth and developmental courses since 1998. I have developed myself to work effectively within teams to consistently produce extraordinary results, through key values of integrity, accountability and effectiveness to name a few. I assist in the wisdom area since 2011 and continually develop myself internationally and at home.

My priorities
  1. Impact the financial accountability, look to see what is missing in that area.
  2. Work closely with tangata whenua, what are they saying that I am interested in developing.
  3. Impact the housing shortage and youth employment in the district.
