Why I'm standing

I believe that time and again ratepayers have been let down with unaffordable and unsustainable rates, red tape and vanity projects whilst core services are neglected and underfunded. Now is the time for big changes, wake-up calls and "back to the basics". Safe streets, working infrastructure and lower rates.

About me

I have 20 years in local government and the qualifications to match. I understand our issues and how to resolve them. I have the experience and know-how to be effective in local government. My insider knowledge at all levels uniquely places me to deliver real change and lower rates for us. I've listened to 100s of people. I've done extensive homework and have the facts at my fingertips. I'm gritty and will deliver for you.

My priorities
  1. Ensure that real, positive change actually happens. No more same old, same old.
  2. Reduce rates, totally rebuild the long term plan and get 50% GST share through via ACT leverage.
  3. Display the English word "LIBRARY" prominently on Rolleston Library so people can find it now.
