| Councillor for Manawatu-Rangitikei Constituency.
Why I'm standing
I am passionate about our region and seek your support and re-election to continue to bring common sense to the big issues in this great region. Such as the long term focus on improving our waterways while enhancing economic opportunities and protecting our community. Council needs to focus on core business and reduce wasteful spending to get rates increases back in line with inflation and people's ability to pay their rates bills.
About me
I was born in Feilding and continue to run a successful sheep, beef farm near Feilding. I have a gold medal in Agriculture from Lincoln University and international study at Minnesota University. I've had wide leadership experience such as Young Farmers club and Federated Farmers before becoming your Horizons councillor. With your support I remain committed to bring good working relationships within the community to ensure a bright future of you and generations to come.
My priorities
- Ensure council focuses on its core business such as continued flood protection.
- Work constructively assisting landowners on environmental improvements.
- Improve accountability and cost effective spending of our rates with lower rates increases.
