Why I'm standing

After seeing Labour's economic mismanagement and wasteful projects make things harder for Nelsonians, I wanted to step up and work hard to deliver for Nelson on the things that matter. I'm running to fix our infrastructure and improve our healthcare, backed by a rebuilt economy under National and a reduced cost of living. I'll work relentlessly to make Nelsonians' lives better.

About me

We face huge economic challenges right now and we need people in government with the skills to solve them. My career has centred on finding ways to make governments function better so they actually deliver the outcomes they promise. With my experience working for global financial institutions I am well placed to get to work on fixing our economy, getting inflation down, and getting things done for Nelson.

My priorities
  1. Reduce the cost of living and grow the Nelson Tasman economy.
  2. Get the Nelson hospital rebuild back on track.
  3. Build infrastructure for the future, starting with the Hope Bypass.
