Why I'm standing
I am worried about the affordability of living in our city and the level of dislike and distrust for our council. I want to restore trust in our council by listening to people and being as transparent as possible in its dealings. I want a council that works to solve issues while having a commitment to people's wellbeing and happiness. I want a council that offers common sense, and solutions to problems that people have.
About me
I'm a Christian and I'm honest. I've been self-employed for 33 years and I feel as a result of many of life's tough experiences that I have become a better and stronger person. I will battle for what's right and I will strive to deliver good services at a fair cost to ratepayers. I will NEVER forget that the ratepayer is my employer, and their needs are why we are in the positions we are.
My priorities
- Make rates and the cost of living more affordable in New Plymouth to everyone living here.
- Reduce debt and explore ways for council to make money to reduce the burden on the ratepayer.
- Stop the war on cars to restore business confidence and make life easier for motorists.
