Why I'm standing
I am proud to have called Christchurch East my home for past 20 years. This is where I choose to live and raise my family. The cost of living crisis is hurting so many in our community like myself. Christchurch East feels forgotten about. I want to see real change by giving a voice to our community, raising awareness of our issues, supporting residents and local businesses, and strongly advocating for our people.
About me
I am a loving father and husband, a devoted and passionate teacher. I have been an active part in our community for 20 years; from teaching at Aranui High School to coaching junior rugby and joining local committees. I bring leadership, local knowledge and a passion for delivering for people. I don't just teach; I mentor, I nuture, I listen, and I unite. It is only together that we can make a real change.
My priorities
- Rebuild the economy to reduce the cost of living by creating jobs, higher incomes & lowering tax.
- Restore law and order with tougher sentences, focusing on youth offenders and better victim support.
- Improve our schools and healthcare. Teaching our kids the basics, more doctors and targeted funding.
