Why I'm standing

I am concerned about the financial outlook of the council. And I believe we are the best district in the world but there is more to do with fresh eyes and fresh perspectives to take Selwyn forward.

About me

I listen, I care, I understand different perspectives, understand the difference between effective governance and operations and I have been involved in our community since I moved here.

My priorities
  1. Review rates to avoid wasteful spending and ensure rates are reasonable and ratepayers get value for money.
  2. Advocate for essential infrastructure and services such as schools and digital connectivity.
  3. Support crime prevention and community safety initiatives to ensure Selwyn continues to be a safe place to live.
