Why I'm standing
In line with other cities in the world, there should be better public transport options.
About me
I have lived in several places where there is excellent public transport and I believe I can offer my good experiences to Hamilton and the region.
My priorities
- Offer better bus routes to residents of Hamilton and the Waikato region.
- Provide greater connectivity between the differing forms of public transport in the region.
- Have more public consultation in decisions involving public transport.
