Why I'm standing

I believe Auckland deserves representatives who are clear, consistent, and principled. I am running to offer voters an independent voice that will not bend to political fashion but will stand firm on fairness, transparency, and individual responsibility.

About me

I bring clear thinking, honesty, and independence. I have worked for decades in strategy, compliance, and governance, where making the right call matters. I am committed to fairness and transparency, and I will always stand by the principles I set out, even under pressure.

My priorities
  1. Ensure infrastructure supports free exchange and prosperity without council picking sides.
  2. Remove barriers that restrict business, housing, and innovation so individuals can choose freely.
  3. Make accurate public data the foundation of council decisions, ensuring fairness and accountability.
