Why I'm standing
I'm standing to represent the local voice. That means listening, backing local projects, and making sure people feel heard. This is a special part of the world. Let's keep it that way by putting local control at the heart of decision-making. I'll bring a steady, practical voice, one that's reflective of you and your concerns, and a deep respect for the land and its inhabitants.
About me
I will uphold and am committed to the democratic process. By the people, for the people. Democracy fell from 12.5% in 2014 to 6.6% in 2024, representing a 47.2% relative decline in the proportion of people living in full democracies over a decade, with significant erosion occurring within the last five years.
My priorities
- Empower people to speak up, make their voice heard and know their voice counts.
- Help people find consensus with one another and grow the community numbers.
- Return power to the people through empowerment, consensus and numbers, and restore democracy.
