This city is our home. I want to work with you to help our community thrive. Together we can make Western Wellington wonderful.

We need a constructive and capable Council focussed on improving our water infrastructure, our community services, environment and social housing.

We need stronger governance and better financial performance from our Council - we must budget carefully and keep income from investments other than rates. Our airport shares recently gained $160 million in value - thank goodness we didn’t sell them!

I’ve recently worked as principal advisor climate change for Christchurch City Council and built a strong understanding of the challenges local government faces. I also have executive and board level experience along with expertise in both policy and economics.

Give me your number 1 vote and I’ll be your advocate for fully supported community facilities, fixing our water infrastructure, cheaper public transport, our environment and quality housing.

Ko tō tatou kāinga te taone nei. Ko te tumanako kia mahi tahi tātou kia ora ai tō tatou hāpori. Kia whakahirahiratia Pōneke-ki-te-uru!

Ko ngā tino kaupapa kaunihera: kia arotahi ana ke te mahi whakatikatika ngongo ā-wai, ngā ratonga ā hāpori, te taiao me ngā whare ā-hāpori.

He matea anō: te mahi kawana a-kaunihera kaha ake me tētahi kanohi hōmiromiro e pā ana ki te pūtea. Me mau tonu tātou ki ngā mahi haumi atu i ngā reiti. Ināia tata ake nei i piki te wariu o tō tātou panga i te papa ā-rererangi: $160 mirona te hua. I pai ai i kore tātou i hoko atu!

Kua mahi au hei kaitohutohu tuatahi nekenga ahuarangi, he wheako whakahaere rōpū, ā, he matatau hoki au i ngā mea kaupapa here me te ōhanga.

Tēnā, homai tōu pōti #1 – he māngai ahau mōu, me ā tatou ratonga ā-hāpori, te taiao hoki.
