Why I'm standing

I am running because I believe in making Waitematā the best place to live and work. I believe we have the potential to be a world-class city, but it is vital to come to terms with the issues we are facing and tackle them head on. I believe in lower rates, better roads and safer and cleaner streets.

About me

I am no stranger to putting in the hard yards to get things done and bring a fresh perspective needed on the local board. I also have a proven track record in developing long-lasting relationships with stakeholders and working closely with small business owners. I understand the importance of clear communication and delivering practical results, and I will use these skills to advocate for the community.

My priorities
  1. Stop wasteful spending and deliver better value for ratepayers and residents.
  2. Ensure cleaner and safer streets by taking pride in the city.
  3. Get the city moving without sacrificing more public parking.
