We need to do things differently
My principal place of residence is in the Tararua District Council area. I am also standing for South Tararua Ward.
Tararua is an incredible place, but to reach our potential we need a fresh approach - one that brings practical leadership, clear direction, and a focus on core responsibilities. After three years on council, I know where the gaps are and how to fix them. I’ve consistently spoken up for financial responsibility, greater efficiency, and the need to rein in unsustainable rate increases. I was proud to play a leadership role in the toll-free campaign - a win made possible by strategic focus and our united community. I’ll bring that same focus to other areas of advocacy.
Council must lift its game. I’ve worked in the corporate world, owned businesses, and understand people, numbers, and delivery.
With family roots in the Tararua going back over 140 years, I’m committed to its future and ensuring real community input across both rural and urban areas. Your vote can make the difference.
