Why I'm standing

I'm standing with ACT to bring common sense and accountability back to local government, so ratepayers get real value, not more waste.

About me

With my experience in business management, project development, farming, and aviation I am confident that I can utilise those skills to bring real change and value to rate payers.

My priorities
  1. Focus council on core business.
  2. Stop wasteful spending.
  3. Bring transparency and accountability to council business.
