Committed to Wellington
As one of your city councillors, I advocate for local interests, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued in our council decisions.
Whilst I have generally been in the minority and a moderate on a highly charged political driven council, I have been able to strongly advocate for local projects and hold the council to account.
I have been a city councillor since 2016 where I have earned a reputation for being resilient, results-driven, fiscally prudent, and a staunch advocate for Wellington’s core services. I have a focus on ensuring our city's growth is prosperous and have a deep commitment to the social and community well-being of all Wellingtonians.
Wellington is facing one of its most challenging and defining periods. The announcement of major reform of local government will have significant impact. All Councils will be required to refocus and reduce their core purpose. This is in addition to other key matters (rates affordability, care of infrastructure, community engagement) facing the city that have been outlined in its pre-election report.
Everyone agrees Wellington needs a reset — on priorities and delivery. With my experience, and a new Council, I’m confident we can rebuild trust in local government and:
Focus on the basics - reduce the council’s spending & deliver the services people want
Build stronger business advocacy – grow jobs, not bureaucracy
Develop shared services across the region – reduce duplication and waste
Put local voices at the table – so our suburbs aren’t sidelined
Let’s get Wellington delivering — at a price we can all afford.
