Why I'm standing

I believe it is time for God to defend New Zealand. I am taking back what has been stolen from us: Our freedoms, vision, hope, our voice! This country was founded on Christian beliefs and morals, and the most recent governments have been turning away from these.

About me

I have spent my life working to serve my family, community and God. I have been a mother, farmer, leader, business owner, director, trustee, and held numerous positions of responsibility. I believe through my life experiences I can bring a fresh uncorrupted outlook and our people's voice to parliament.

My priorities
  1. Take back our parental rights.
  2. Remove unrealistic, unworkable restrictions on our businesses.
  3. Bring real people into authority over this country.
