Why I'm standing

I couldn't sit by when we're in the midst of a climate emergency and inequality is rising. I thought about who I could ask to stand and then realised that if I was serious about helping make the changes needed in my area I should put my money where my mouth is and get out there myself. I love living in the Coromandel and I want it to be here for others to enjoy.

About me

I run a couple of local businesses that support employment in the area and I'm a volunteer at several social environmental groups so I'm seeing first hand the impact of everything on our locals. I have a particular set of skills – and I will use my experience in business, social and environmental matters to ensure we meet the needs of the people within the boundaries of the planet.

My priorities
  1. End poverty by supporting the proposed income guarantee and fair tax system policies.
  2. Prepare our communities' resilience and adaption for what's ahead in the ongoing climate emergency.
  3. Build a public transport network that meets the needs of this diverse electorate.
