| Not currently in parliament
Why I'm standing
I'm committed to a better future for our younger generations. I want to make sure Christchurch has a strong voice in delivering positive and sustainable outcomes to enable a prosperous future for all.
About me
I've been serving my community for the last 20 years, both in the community sector and as an elected representative. My experience as a city councillor dealing with post-earthquake issues, floods, fires and the 15th March attack has given me a deep understanding of both local and central government. I will use that experience and commitment to deliver better outcomes for our city.
My priorities
- Kickstart the development of a new Comprehensive Cancer Centre.
- Deliver 150 new Community Police Constables for safer communities.
- Get funding for the Mass Rapid Transport plan for Christchurch.
