Why I'm standing
I believe strongly in the core Labour values of running a strong productive economy for the benefit of all New Zealand's people. I'm passionate about creating a society where everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential. At this election kiwis face a stark choice between a Labour-led government which will continue to invest in solving difficult long-term issues versus a National/Act government proposing cuts to pay for tax incentives for wealthy landlords.
About me
I am from Napier, after gaining a wealth of experience in both the public and private sectors I chose to raise my three kids in Napier, and I have built a successful business here from scratch. I have two decades experience working with senior leaders to get stuff done. I have worked with the CEOs and top teams of many of New Zealand's most significant organisations and understand at a strategic level the challenges they face.
My priorities
- Build back better post-cyclone with more resilient roads, communications and economic recovery.
- Ensure Napier has the right mix of services for its people in health, education and housing.
- Stimulate the economy in value-added manufacturing and tourism and attracting new businesses here.
