Why I'm standing
I want to support locals and build community. I focus on the positive and back our community by investing in local people, local projects, and real results. Hastings has so much to offer; we need a council who can see the opportunity and make the most of it. It is time we stopped accepting mediocrity and had a council who want to work for all the people.
About me
Years of proven business success, practicality and a strong family focus makes me the ideal person for the job. I know how to get things done and I know what's needed to achieve real results. Most importantly, I believe in our region and our people. I stand for all of us.
My priorities
- Create a council which cares about all its constituents.
- Secure self-sustaining wealth for the region and a system that stops taking more than it gives.
- Grow industry and economic growth in balance with local iwi and our natural treasures.
