Why I'm standing

No response provided

About me

I am running as a candidate as I believe that there has slowly been a disconnect between politicians and the people, and the people's voice is being eroded.

My priorities
  1. Remove or limit government decisions in relation to running local bodies, ie District Council.
  2. Uphold The Bill of Rights, and for it not to be overridden.
  3. Make individuals the sole decision-makers in their chosen destiny.
