Why I'm standing

I believe we can do better. Deliver a better Selwyn for our future, with sensible spending and planning, a can-do attitude and out-of-the-square thinking. We can do better together.

About me

I'm a disrupter, I won't settle for the 'It'll do', I ask questions, challenge the stupid, and am a normal person. I'm not going to go on a crusade to fix it all now, we can't, and we shouldn't look back. We need to make our own plan, ensure it's fit for the residents of Selwyn and then implement it. I will set goals and meet them.

My priorities
  1. Work to ensure council is visible and working together as a team.
  2. Ensure knowledge of financial position before agreeing on the next annual plan.
  3. Engage community and residents in planning and decision making.
