Why I'm standing
I have spent years volunteering on local projects, and while I was not planning to run, community members encouraged me to stand. I believe Whangārei has the people, ideas and potential to thrive, but too often we lack the resources or follow-through to make it happen. I am running to help turn good ideas into real, lasting improvements for our district.
About me
I am good at spotting what works and making sure we put our resources there. I look for ways to get the best value for money without cutting corners, and I am not afraid to ask if something is worth the cost. My work with community groups and events has proven how we will turn good ideas into real results, and I will bring that same practical, transparent approach to council.
My priorities
- Get housing built and breathe life back into the heart of the city.
- Make it easy, safe and fun to get around and get more for every dollar spent.
- Back communities' big ideas with the right tools, not red tape.
