Why I'm standing
I am seeking election to represent the Waiopehu Ward, as I believe our community deserves stronger representation than it has received in the previous term. Waiopehu has the largest ratio of members to councillors, so requires two active representatives. I am committed to being accessible to residents and attending community meetings when invited to ensure ongoing engagement. I bring a deep connection to our community and a commitment to remain in this area.
About me
I have grown up in Horowhenua, in Muhunoa East, Levin and for the last 36 years in Manakau. I have been educated and operated my businesses here. Horowhenua has supported me and now I am retired I have the time and skills to give back to the district. I am a solution thinker not a problem seeker, I speak up and find practical answers. People trust me to deliver results.
My priorities
- Ensure rates are realistic. If households have to live within their means, council should too.
- Restore public confidence in HDC's decision-making by reducing decisions made behind closed doors.
- Create a community where everyone is treated equally and stop the increasing division in our community.
