Why I'm standing
I am simply running for mayor as an alternative option if you are not happy with the status quo. I am your stubborn and uncompromising voice against central government. I believe our community has great potential but now needs excitement and change to move the next generations into the future. I feel at the moment we are not thinking big enough.
About me
As your Army Veteran candidate, my reputation means a lot to me and gaining public trust and respect is a critical part of maintaining my own reputation. I prioritise gaining public trust. I believe inviting the ratepayer as official shareholders in all council investments is the single biggest first step to take in a truly democratic society.
My priorities
- Make all ratepayers 50% legal shareholders in all council investments because that is democracy.
- Phase out the ratepayer by investing in freehold rental properties because that is common sense.
- Expand CCTV and implement nightly drone surveillance to become New Zealand’s most security alert community.
