Mayor of Hamilton

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 single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Hamilton City Council mayoral election.

Why I'm standing

I have very strong values of empathy and compassion for all people and animals. I am devoted to creating a city in which animals are protected and treated with respect. I have lived my whole life in Kirikiriroa and am passionate about promoting the well-being of all people and animals.

About me

I will strive to bring about positive change to create a community which is filled with compassion and respect for everyone. I was the youngest NZ candidate in the 2023 elections, running for AJP in Hamilton East.

My priorities
  1. Work with council on a longterm future vision – fiscal responsibility to compassionate conservation.
  2. Request a comprehensive review of all aspects of council operations and spending.
  3. Work with locals to prioritise their needs, including the most unfortunate members of society.
