Why I'm standing
I am perturbed at the repetitive rhetoric emanating from fiscal conservatives especially. I am a centre-left candidate running with the intention of restoring respectability to progressivism, which has been hijacked by a hyper-liberal elite. I wish to run as mayor to showcase Hamilton as a world-class city, not through brochures but through its achievements. I believe presently Hamilton is direction-less. Lawyers, businessmen and environmentalists have all tried and failed. Now it is time to elect a scientist.
About me
I am part of a new generational wave of late baby-boomer politicians, caught between modern and post-modern paradigms. I am a member of the Co-operative New Zealand Party which has sought monetary reform since formation in 1953. I am the secretary of the Hamilton Residents and Ratepayers Association Incorporated, a position I will hold until May 2026. Hamilton is already served by two National Party electorate MPs. I believe it does not need a National Party mayor.
My priorities
- Take back control of council from disruptive elements and free it from the woke mind virus.
- Support the transgender community but ensure this does not come at the cost of betraying trad wives.
- Explore municipal tariffs and create a by-election endowment fund to enhance representation.
