Mayor of Christchurch

The mayor is the leader of the council. Their job is to promote a vision for the city and lead the development of the council’s plans, policies and budget. The mayor appoints the deputy mayor, establishes committees for particular topics, and appoints chairs for those committees. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Christchurch City Council mayoral election.

Why I'm standing

To enable robust debate around all policy on the election table.

About me

I am not into blowing my own trumpet but something has to be done about the non-participation of the electorate in civic engagement and crucially, in voting. That is my primary mission.

My priorities
  1. Plan for sustainability and foster resilience.
  2. Encourage and embrace engagement in local and national issues.
