Why I'm standing
I want to see Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour and Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula become a thriving community of people of all ages, cool businesses and incredible scenery. I believe we are custodians of some of Aotearoa's most interesting geography, right on the doorstep of our second-biggest city. I think the potential is endless.
About me
I bring balance and a broad understanding of perspectives. I grew up in a blue-voting farming area. I have also been a journalist confronted with some of our society's biggest disparities and learned that we cannot exist as a fair society without compassion and support. I am a business owner. I am an environmentalist. I am also an avid reader who loves reading everything about policy, then going out and talking to people about it.
My priorities
- Strengthen local small businesses through soft supports, networking and tangible benefits.
- Improve efforts to reforest the peninsula and maintain excellent harbour water quality.
- Encourage eco-tourism and social enterprises.
