Why I'm standing
I have been a districtwide councillor for nine years and am shocked by the amount of policies and changes I have advocated for that have been reversed in the three years I have been on a community board. I bring experience in how the local government system works and frankly how to work the local government system for the better. I advocate tirelessly for affordability and support Kapiti to grow well, not just big.
About me
I am a fifth generation Kapiti Coaster living in Ōtaki. I have been active in decision making that makes Kapiti better. I am socially minded and care for those who are our most disadvantaged. I am a district licensing committee member and RMA hearings commissioner and represent Wellington for the Community Boards Executive. I’m also a mum, wife and nana who wants Kapiti to be the best it can be for all here.
My priorities
- Tackle rates rises by urgently reevaluating council debt and the costs and income imbalance.
- Bring the district growth strategy forward on the council work programme to reset plan zone changes.
- Ensure that local government sector reforms benefit the district and enable the council to work at its best.
