Why I'm standing
I am dedicated to ensuring Waihī remains a great place to live, where everyone can thrive, feel supported and remain connected. I am concerned about the rising cost of living and how it impacts on our community.
About me
I have lived in Waihī for 11 years and am involved in a number of community groups. I have governance experience, am a good listener and bring skills in communication, leadership, collaboration and financial management. I will put our community's needs first in any decision making.
My priorities
- Advocate for central government to pay a portion of Crown mineral royalties to the council.
- Implement Waikato Water Done Well collective of seven district councils to ensure cost efficiency.
- Fund community events that align with council values and priorities and demonstrate economic impact.
