Why I'm standing
I believe New Zealand has so much potential to be the best place in the world to live. We need good policies and leadership to get us there.
About me
I am a good listener, and as a GP I know that it's important to understand problems before solving them. I am a strategic and systematic thinker, thanks to over 20 years in the army. I have served as a board director and understand business and governance. I'm also a mother of five, balancing a blended family of teenagers.
My priorities
- Advocate for more visible police coverage for the electorate.
- Fix the roads and making speed limits sensible.
- Clean up the Whakaraupo/Lyttelton harbour.
