Why I'm standing

Do we want Rotorua to be the largest social welfare footprint in NZ or a place with a healthy heart and economy? I am running for election because it is time to take action and start creating positive change for our city! I am tired of the lack of action. I believe in smart action that serves the next generation as well as ours.

About me

I bring to the table sound leadership that will serve our community strongly. I can engage and connect on every level of life. My great negotiating skills will be used for progress and better outcomes which is a large part of local politics and decision making.

My priorities
  1. Reversing the sale of our reserves! This is not the outcome we the people wanted!
  2. Reviving our economy.
  3. Housing – examine bureaucracy around resource consents, compliance, approvals and land use.
