Why I'm standing

I am proud of our city and district and what it has added to my life, and my family's life. I regard serving as a councillor as a way of repaying that.

About me

I have a business background that leads me to be pragmatic and entrepreneurial. I have five terms experience as a councillor and I am seeking your confidence in re-electing me for a sixth and final term.

My priorities
  1. Continue to be accessible and responsive to all in our community.
  2. Be an advocate for rates restraint by using my experience in council procedures to be effective.
  3. Research and understand council matters and constructively advocate for the community's interests.
