Why I'm standing
I adore my home city but feel that for a number of years some factions have fought to cut and reduce city choices, rather than fighting for the best future-capable city. I am passionate about passing on the best city we can for those future generations, and I cannot do that to the extent I believe we should by shouting from the sidelines. I am a future-facing peacemaker and I believe I can be useful.
About me
I work well with others. As an actor I have learned and honed the craft of listening – the most important part of good communication and advocacy. I have served on governance boards including recognition for Baseball NZ and I am the president of Auckland Flyfishing Anglers Club. I have a broad canvas of experience as a parent, writer, presenter, director and motorcycle advocate. I have served with Actors Equity and I have an enquiring mind. I will serve faithfully.
My priorities
- Make Auckland the hub of the Pacific for arts, film, TV, music, gaming, production and delivery.
- Prioritise water protection and welfare of local waterways and gulf and design best flood resilience.
- Finalise and support a cohesive, timely and affordable rapid transit system and make Auckland 21st century ready.
