Why I'm standing
I want our city to be able to afford to deliver sustainable outcomes I believe most Wellingtonians want. I want to double down on the things that make us great a great place to live and I want us to be a city that people move to, and stay in, for great job opportunities. I ran for election because I was not seeing any candidate pitch a compelling strategy for how to achieve this.
About me
I've worked in leadership positions on housing and city infrastructure deals worth over a billion dollars and overseen delivery of complex, award-winning projects on time and budget. As a qualified accountant with deep financial management expertise, I can rigorously interrogate information to ensure robust decision-making. I will make the hard calls needed to achieve positive, sustainable outcomes for Wellington, while applying the strong, pragmatic financial management required to keep our city affordable, resilient, and future-focused.
My priorities
- Focus on affordability, meaning affordable rates, rents, house prices and transport costs.
- Grow jobs by increasing the number of successful businesses and their ability to employ people in the city.
- Focus on sustainability including climate change action and doubling down on conservation programmes.
