Why I'm standing
I am standing for election because I believe that in the last three years NZ First and it's centralist, common sense, balanced policies have been sorely missed and that a lot of issues we are facing today – high Defence Force attrition, high inflation, the parliament occupation – would've been avoided if NZ First was in Cabinet.
About me
I have lived in Wellington since 2016 and I have a wealth of experience in working in central government and for local government. I understand how the system works and I believe that the most important thing in a democracy is to listen to what people are saying and then acting where you can to ensure that policies being enacted are going to help those being affected by the policies the most.
My priorities
- For Wellington ensure that Lets Get Wellington Moving doesn't leave a whole lot of people behind.
- Ensure that every policy enacted by government is designed to help people, not divide them.
- Ensure that students are able to start and complete their studies and get the support they need.
