| Not currently in parliament
Why I'm standing
I decided to enter politics as I became shocked by the number of crises that have been plaguing New Zealand over the last few years, eg health, cost of living, law and order, housing, climate, etc. Furthermore, the growing divisions appearing in the population.
About me
My strengths are that I am practical, have common sense, a problem solver, project orientated. A professional, trained in civil engineering and finance. I have lived in the Ōhariu electorate for over 30 years and have done many community projects. An inaugural, past Vice President, and current committee member of the Onslow Residents Community Association Inc. (ORCA).
My priorities
- Improve emergency department triage (to >25%) and access times (to <4 hours) at Wellington Hospital.
- Control reckless spending of rates money by council. Core services only. Achieved by referendums.
- Build resilience, future proof roads, protect suburban centres – for adverse climate change events.
