Why I'm standing

I am motivated to stand as a candidate because I am committed to seeing all people succeed and realise their potential. I am a charismatic advocate for the everyday person. I am a proud patriot of New Zealand; its people, natural resources, industry, sporting talent, and business innovation. I am motivated to restore NZ to a place that kiwis will be proud of and want to stay and raise their families in.

About me

I understand that as an elected representative of Papakura, I represent their voices. I take this seriously and will use all of my considerable skills of leadership and communication to advocate on their behalf. I acknowledge the dynamic team that is Vision NZ and Freedoms NZ - a vote for me is also a vote for the wider skillset which those parties represent.

My priorities
  1. Advocate for programmes to engage youth into meaningful pathways of education and employment.
  2. Provoke school boards and communities to remove the perverse relationships and sexuality education curriculum from their schools.
  3. Advocate for tax incentives to support small businesses to start and continue to thrive in the town.
