Why I'm standing
I've lived in the Ōrākei ward for over 30 years, raised my family here, and I know the challenges our community faces. I care deeply about ensuring our suburbs remain a safe, liveable and welcoming. Too often, the basics are neglected while costs rise. I'm running to bring fresh energy, accountability and a strong practical voice to the board so local families feel heard and get real value for their rates. Please vote for me.
About me
I bring a fresh perspective to the board as a former lawyer and current local business owner with proven experience solving problems and delivering results. I offer practical skills, strong community connections and a commitment to fairness, transparency and strong local advocacy. I care deeply about our area and will work hard to ensure ratepayers get value for their money. As your ACT local candidate, I will provide disciplined, accountable leadership that puts residents first.
My priorities
- Advocate better water management and strong flood protection and oppose plans to give up the coastline.
- Support fixing local roads and reducing congestion so people can travel safely and efficiently.
- Back safe, accessible parks and community hubs that deliver real value for ratepayers and families.
