Why I'm standing

I have seen our country being systematically pulled apart under the current government. Division of the people is totally unacceptable, and co-governance is another method of causing disharmony among the population. Climate change hysteria that is not based on verifiable and provable science is being used to pressure farmers off the land. Our farmers are the backbone of the country, and if they fail economically, then we will all fail. Your voice is with us.

About me

I am a principled person and do not seek political office for recognition or financial gain. I will be taking a pay cut to do the best for the people of New Zealand and my district of Waimakariri. I have a wealth of business knowledge and a can-do attitude when it comes to solving the toughest of problems. Our country is hurting, and we need the very best people in parliament to make a change.

My priorities
  1. Open an inquiry into the Waimakariri District Councils property purchases. Ratepayers are angry.
  2. Improve roading in the district and ensure speed limits are not hindering motorists.
  3. Enforce crime policy. Criminals and gangs will be targeted with harsh jail terms.
