| Dunedin city councillor
Why I'm standing
I believe our city has huge potential. I recognise we are a city of firsts and were once the powerhouse of the country. I think we can achieve this again particularly in the tech sector with weightless exports, more jobs and an economic boost for a better future for your children and mine.
About me
I am open, honest and fair with two terms of experience on council. I am a former journalist and have not been afraid to ask hard questions and push for transparency. I hold a masters in business entrepreneurship which helps me to see problems as opportunities. I am a member of the Institute of Directors and Dunedin Rotary. I am married to Mike and have two teenage children. I answer only to the people of Dunedin.
My priorities
- Put pressure on government to build Dunedin's hospital to the design that was promised.
- Keep spending focused and disciplined, keeping rates sustainable while still investing.
- Support the arts sector to build a professional theatre to ensure the city is vibrant and liveable.
