I'm running for Mayor to offer a fresh direction, not as a career politician. I stand for transparency, efficiencies, careful spending, and a culture of service by the council, leading to prosperity for all. I question and unashamedly lean on the fence between governance and operations. I'm frustrated by the lack of transparency, difficulty in accessing information, rising debt levels, increasing staff numbers and increasing rates placing an unsustainable burden on ratepayers.
A retired Manutuke farmer with most of my family living in Tairāwhiti. I'm committed to keeping our region Tairāwhiti vibrant and affordable for all. Formally G.B.H.S, Massey degree, teaching, farming organically, school BOT, volunteer fire brigade, grower rep packhouse chairman. Last term I never missed a meeting and attended all other committees. I understand council. I will bring strong assertive leadership to our council, encouraging business development, better consultation and the democratic process.
