| Deputy Mayor of Kapiti Coast District
Why I'm standing
I am standing for re-election because I think that I have character, experience and skills that this district needs on council. I believe that Kapiti is one of the best places to live because of our people, our environment and our communities. But we have many opportunities to improve. I want to continue to contribute to Kapiti developing to its potential where everyone, especially our most vulnerable, thrives.
About me
I have served the Kapiti community for 3 years as deputy mayor and districtwide councillor. I am experienced in governance through 12 years on school boards including 8 years as chair and 17 years on not for profit boards. I'm a pastor, community advocate, strategic-thinker, and servant leader who displays integrity and empathy. I will listen to people and lead from my learnings to help support and build the best communities I can across Kapiti.
My priorities
- Demonstrate effective, stable governance and provide experienced, values-based leadership.
- Keep council spending focused on delivering value without waste and returning to five percent affordability rate.
- Listen to people and lead from learnings to help support and build a thriving district.
