Why I'm standing
I believe residents deserve a strong voice at council. I will work with communities to identify and achieve the outcomes that are important to them. I am committed to representing their interests with integrity.
About me
I would be a good addition to the council because I can bring a fresh perspective to council decisions, with a focus on sustainability and transparency. I have a professional career that has provided me with the skills and experience to assess situations, collaborate with others to find solutions and commit the time and energy needed to represent my community effectively.
My priorities
- Address the steep increase in rates and fair distribution of revenue for ratepayers.
- Establish cost-effective changes to infrastructure for long-term safe drinking water and wastewater.
- Create sustainable plans for Selwyn's future designed for the effects of climate change.
