Invercargill City Councillor
Why I'm standing
I'm running to help build a Council that is visible, connected, and genuinely working for our people. Since being elected in 2023, I've stayed grounded in the community and focused on making smart, disciplined decisions. Invercargill needs clear vision, collaboration, and less division. This isn't about politics - it's about people and our future. Invercargill is my home, and I want to help to build a city and a Council we can be proud of.
About me
I bring experience, energy, integrity and community connection. My background in teaching, radio, and people leadership has equipped me to listen, communicate, and problem-solve. In my current work tackling food access across Southland, I've continued to build strong relationships across community sectors. On Council, I've shown I'm approachable, strategic, and committed to affordability. I believe in a Council that works with the community, not apart from it. I'll continue to serve with focus and purpose.
My priorities
- Invest smartly in infrastructure and affordability, keep rates fair and secure long-term benefits.
- Engage effectively with the community and stakeholders to strengthen community connection and partnership.
- Facilitate economic growth, housing, jobs and sustainable industries and plan for the future.
