Why I'm standing
I'm standing because the New Zealand we know and love is hanging by a thread. Things are failing everywhere, all at once. Our cost of living continues to go upwards while as a country we're going backwards. We don't have time to wait and need to take action now. Although I've just had a new baby, this election was too important to watch from the sidelines. Join me and let's take back our country.
About me
I have a proven history of standing up for people in our community. My work tackling issues in local government as an affected business owner has inspired me to further advocate for our city and community by standing for New Zealand First and bringing back democracy for Tauranga. My husband and I have lived here for over 15 years and have two children together, Piper (12) and Ziggy who was born May this year.
My priorities
- Defend freedom and democracy and fighting against racist separatism.
- Tackle the cost of living crisis and improve the lives of our seniors.
- Get tough on crime. We should all feel safe in our community and at home.
