Why I'm standing

I love our community and I believe we can have a safe and prosperous country with great living standards if we have the right kind of policies and elect people who have the experience and education to deliver the change needed in our country. That's why I am standing - for positive change in our community and country.

About me

I hold a master's degree in public policy from Harvard, I am a trained economist and have lived and worked all over the world. I have been our local MP before and have the resilience required to be effective and deliver change for our community and country.

My priorities
  1. Crack down on gangs, youth offenders and restore consequences for criminals.
  2. Restore discipline to government spending and give tax relief to working New Zealanders.
  3. Deliver the second harbour crossing, fix our roads and reduce congestion.
