My principal place of residence is in the Te Awanui Māori Ward area.
As a candidate for Te Awanui Ward, I am committed to serving our community with integrity and diligence. Unlike many, I am not here to make empty promises. Instead, I vow to dedicate myself to thorough research and critical analysis of every issue we face in our city. I understand the importance of fiscal responsibility and will work tirelessly to ensure that every dollar of ratepayer money is spent wisely and effectively. Our community deserves a representative who prioritizes transparency and accountability. I will scrutinize our spending, advocate for cost-effective solutions, and ensure that we achieve the best value for every project undertaken. My goal is to foster a more efficient and responsive council that truly serves the interests of our people. Together, we can build a stronger, more prosperous Tauranga. Together, your support will enable me to be a vigilant and conscientious kaitiaki of our community's resources.
