Why I'm standing
As a candidate, I have the opportunity to share with my electorate the values and policies of a party that I believe New Zealand needs. ACT is the only party standing up for freedom of the individual, smaller government, accountability, equality under the law and end of wasteful spending. ACT stands for real change. All other parties have no real vision for change but just tinker with policies.
About me
In 2002, I founded a technology business which I later sold in 2021 to a multinational company. During that time, I learnt about the importance of customer service in order to thrive. Like a business, a politician is there to serve its citizens but too many have it the other way around. As an elected representative, I want to be an enabler for the citizen of my electorate.
My priorities
- Reinstate the 100kph speed limit on SH2 between Featherston and Masterton.
- Restart the Wakamoekau Community Water Storage Scheme to better adapt to climate change.
- Investigate heavy traffic bypass for Gladstone and Carterton.
