Why I'm standing
I believe Ruapehu needs a good cross section of residents and ratepayers to represent us all. I am excited that there are great candidates seeking election in all roles.
About me
I am a ratepayer in Horopito and an environmental scientist. I bring both local commitment and technical expertise to the table. I have a professional background that means I am skilled at interpreting complex reports and applying evidence-based thinking to decision-making.
My priorities
- Strengthen local preparedness, infrastructure and planning to adapt to the changing world.
- Support safe, healthy and affordable housing options with community input on appropriate zoning.
- Promote community events, markets and initiatives that attract visitors and customers.
