Why I'm standing
I am standing because after decades in the private sector it is time to give back to the community I now call home. I believe this is a moment of change and opportunity, and I am ready to put my experience to work so together we can shape Rangitikei into the home we all want it to be.
About me
I have spent the past 12 months in the room observing council and committee meetings and I currently serve as chair of the Hunterville Community Committee. I am ready to hit the ground running from the very first council meeting, bringing sound financial management, transparency and accountability to the council table.
My priorities
- Fix the Marton drinking water supply permanently.
- Implement a thorough replacement plan for Hunterville's ageing infrastructure.
- Find an 8% savings in expenses to balance the budget.
