Why I'm standing

I am running for election because I think we need more straight and honest answers from the council about what they are doing with our rates. People often have no idea what the council is up to and the reasons why.

About me

I am still a married woman, having brought up three adult children in New Zealand. I have been part of different community organisations as well as school organisations. I know my experience as a mother and guide in my community has been appreciated.

My priorities

Always tell the truth in a nice way.
Be honest and keen to know how I can help.
Be reliable, prudent and wise.
