Why I'm standing

I hear the same frustrations every day; crumbling infrastructure, soaring rates, and council more focused on ideology than results. I'm standing to change that. I want to return the council's focus to serving its people well, and ultimately help get Wellington back on its feet.

About me

I have lived in Wellington my whole life. I know the issues that we face as a community. I come from a small business family, so I am very well aware of the challenges our businesses are facing. I bring energy, a fresh perspective and a real desire to serve our city and its residents. I'm motivated to make a positive difference to our city and make it a place where everyone can thrive.

My priorities
  1. Cut waste and keep rates low by focusing the council on essentials only.
  2. Fix basics such as roads, drains and water infrastructure that locals depend on.
  3. Cut red tape so homes and businesses can grow affordably.
