Why I'm standing
I moved back home to Kerikeri in 2016 so my two young children could have the upbringing that I had in the 80s and 90s here in Kerikeri where the town was full of pride and life. This town has a lot going for it and I want to help it continue so my grandkids would also want to live here one day.
About me
I prefer to look at what the issues are on the ground. I will put on the gumboots and tackle issues head on. I have a huge range of interests in town and I am constantly out and about listening to how our community is feeling.
My priorities
- Support groups who create events including the arts, sports, culture and environment.
- Investigate how to get road access to the new public land beach access at Onewhere Bay.
- Investigate how to fund an indoor swimming pool in Kerikeri.
