Why I'm standing
I think Raglan is a great small town, but on the cusp of change. I think I can contribute to the range of views, analysis and ideas needed to navigate this.
About me
I spent the first half of my working life in justice, helping offenders and victims, and now work as an analyst with the Department of Conservation. I have a broad world view with a dual emphasis on human and environmental values. This kind of sums Raglan up, I think – it makes me a good fit. I also know WDC, having been business improvement manager there, reporting to the CE, from 2010 to 2012.
My priorities
- Maintain unbiased democracy and freedom of speech, making sure all views are heard and respected.
- Think very carefully about Raglan's future direction and how to wisely use the beautiful space.
- Drive continued improvement of the harbour's water quality.
