Why I'm standing

I love living in Friendly Feilding but I am frustrated by the significant rate rises year on year as well as project blow outs like the library and the Turners Road extension.

About me

I am a lifelong resident of the Manawatu, it's where I've grown up, where I've worked and where I've made lifelong friendships through clubs, work, sports and politics.

My priorities

Cut waste and keep rates low by focusing council on essentials only.
Fix basics including roads, drains and water infrastructure that locals depend on.
Cut red tape so homes and businesses can grow affordably.
