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