Why I'm standing
I believe I can offer strong representation for the people of Otamatea. I will listen to concerns and follow up. I have good financial sense and commonsense, both of which I feel are important for ensuring ratepayers are getting value for rates paid.
About me
I care about our community, my family are fifth generation in Kaipara. I have a can-do practical attitude. I have sound financial experience having run my own successful business for over 20 years. I have the mindset that council is there to work for the ratepayers. I work well with people from all backgrounds which I believe is a key to success.
My priorities
- Ensure ratepayers money is not being wasted and ensure we are getting bang for our buck.
- Push to keep rates down and prevent people being pushed out due to unaffordable rates.
- Ensure the essentials are being done right and communication to and from council is effective.
