Why I'm standing
I am a proud Far North local. I have returned home from the military and witnessed the district going backwards. I am standing up for local businesses and event organisers. Our district can be better and I want it to be the best.
About me
I have been on many committees and also bring the discipline of the military. I have also served in voluntary organisations and continue to do so. I know first-hand what it feels like to struggle. I listen to community members and groups and will be a strong voice for them.
My priorities
- Support local businesses.
- Build and strengthen better infrastructure.
- Spend ratepayers' money wisely and cut the red tape.
