Why I'm standing

I see a voice that hasn't been spoken yet, I feel our region is treated like the poor cousin. If I can see it as an 18yr old, we have to as a community say it is not good enough. I have always been engaged in our community, and I was taught if you can help you should, and so I am standing to make ourselves heard.

About me

I am part of the new generation who believes in Why Not. I think the ranges deserve more than we have received previously. I bring a new voice, a belief we deserve better, and I am prepared to fight for that. I am the fourth generation of my family to live in the area, this is our home, I understand our community, I understand what makes it great.

My priorities
  1. Make the region the must-do destination in Auckland for tourism with increased promotion.
  2. Improve the roading network and speed of repairs to ensure the region is fully accessible.
  3. Ensure investment in tracks to make them a world-class attraction.
