Why I'm standing
I want to put people before politics, and ensure every resident is heard, seen and valued. Have a council the residents can trust and respect.
About me
I grew up in Napier and have lived here most of my life and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I have deep connections to our community and experience working with local and central government. I want to be my community's voice at the council table.
My priorities
- Explore different ways to reach less engaged groups of the community.
- Ensure the essentials get done but do not overlook the touches that make Napier so special.
- Attract and keep businesses thriving in Napier.
