Why I'm standing

It is time to give the local board a wake-up call and get back to basics – safe streets, working infrastructure and value for money. Focus expenditure on tangible outcomes that improve living and working in the community. With my background as a business owner and community advocate, I understand how to set clear priorities and deliver results. If people want to see common sense restored and wasteful spending stopped, please give me your vote.

About me

I am a business owner and community advocate who has served on three different boards during my 10 years in Henderson-Massey. I know how to cut waste, manage budgets and hold decision-makers accountable. My focus is simple: reject wasteful spending, protect core services like roads, water and rubbish, and restore transparency so every dollar can be tracked. I will provide disciplined, accountable leadership that puts residents first and restores common sense to the local board.

My priorities
  1. Cut waste and focus local board spending on essentials that deliver tangible improvements.
  2. Fix basics such as roads, drains and water infrastructure that locals depend on.
  3. Enhance community safety by boosting patrols, improving lighting and CCTV coverage to reduce crime.
