Why I'm standing

I believe the best decisions happen when council works with the community, not over it. I've seen this in action through KaPai Carterton, where simple, resident-driven ideas became projects that continue to make a real, positive difference in our town. I want to bring this collaborative approach to council, ensuring residents' voices are heard and valued in shaping Carterton's future. I'm standing for council to help create a people-powered Carterton.

About me

Drawing on my experience with KaPai Carterton, I know how to turn resident-driven ideas into lasting projects that benefit everyone. I want a council that works with the people of Carterton, listening to their voices and shaping decisions together. I am committed to open, transparent, and accountable decision-making so ratepayers feel informed, respected, and genuinely involved in our town's future.

My priorities
  1. Ensure council works with the people of Carterton to shape decisions.
  2. Work collaboratively with local community to create a vibrant resilient Carterton.
  3. Promote open, accountable decision-making so ratepayers feel informed, respected, and involved.
