Why I'm standing
I'm running for council because I care about our community and want Upper Hutt to be a safe, vibrant and thriving place. I'm committed to listening to residents, ensuring transparency, and making decisions that improve everyday life. I want to bring practical, community-driven solutions, strengthen connections, and make sure everyone feels heard, valued and supported as we plan for a resilient and inclusive future.
About me
I will make a good elected representative because I listen, collaborate and put the community first. With strong connections across Upper Hutt, I understand local needs and concerns. I bring practical experience, a commitment to transparency, and a focus on fairness and accountability. I will work tirelessly to represent all residents, build trust, and ensure decisions reflect what matters most to our city and the people who live here.
My priorities
- Ensure council decisions are transparent, strengthening trust through community engagement.
- Grow the economy by backing local businesses and addressing unemployment in our community.
- Protect waterways, parks and green spaces for our future generations.
