Why I'm standing

I have the right skills to continue on the work started by other members in 2022. I believe we are at a unique time in history where the right choices need to be made, and I believe I am the right person to make these decisions on your behalf. This city is exciting and I am very proud to be from Christchurch and the east.

About me

I believe I can make a difference if elected, but my promise to you all is that I will listen and act on what you as the voters require. If that changes then my focus will change. A vote for me is a vote for the change you wish to see happen. Nothing is impossible if you have a positive attitude and mindset.

My priorities
  1. Continue to build communities by getting neighbours talking and looking out for one another.
  2. Bring more services back to the suburbs, including accessible bus routes with smaller buses for all.
  3. Focus on big events to bring back more investment within local businesses.
