Why I'm standing

Too many people I speak to can't see a future for themselves here. I believe there's no reason Timaru can't be a place where everyone can thrive. We can build a future where jobs are plentiful, houses are affordable and our community is vibrant. I'm standing because to build that future we need new councillors with fresh ideas who want to see action.

About me

I bring a new energy and perspective to the council, I'm a young worker and I was born and raised in Timaru. I'm active in our community and I've fought for quicker action on the Theatre Royal and our CBD over the past two years. I believe we need new leaders to take this district forward and that I will bring the difference required to do just that.

My priorities
  1. Create a vibrant city centre.
  2. Keep housing affordable.
  3. Grow the Timaru district, creating opportunities and a future for everyone in Timaru.
