Why I'm standing

After 40 years in broadcasting, media print and local business management. It's time to "give back" to the community the skills I have accumulated.

About me

I'm a conservative married man with extensive family in Whanganui. I believe in democracy and freedom. I have been Chairman of the local Ratepayers association for 3 years.

My priorities

Stop the government takeover of our $700 plus million in Three Waters assets.
Stop the appointment of non-elected councillors.
Scrutinise and question all council pending decisions to get the best possible deal for ratepayers.
