Vision, Issues, & Values
I’m running because Christchurch families are being let down, and we are all over it!
Rates are rising faster than inflation, yet the Council continues to pour money into low-priority projects like cycleways and speed bumps, while the basics like repairing potholes, two lanes to town, clean water, and lower rates are overlooked with the borrowing of more money being used to disguise the actual rates bill faced by Christchurch City.
It is time for a reset.
It’s time for a Council that puts residents first and focuses on what truly matters.
Born and raised in Christchurch, with family roots here stretching back over 175 years, I feel a strong duty to serve you and Christchurch, not ideologies. I know what it means to work hard, live within a budget, and deliver real results and I want to do this for you.
We are fed up with waste, excuses, and a Council that is out of touch.
We want action, accountability, and leadership that reflects our values. While our city should be moving forward, for many it feels as though we are slipping behind.
We need roads that last, clean water, safe streets, far lower rates, and money staying in your pocket.
What we need to do, and I plan to advocate for is:
1) Cap Rates and Cut Waste: Control spending and prevent rate increases.
2) Prioritise Core Services: Focus on roads, water, waste, and public safety.
3) Protect Our Communities: Oppose over-intensification and preserve neighbourhood character.
4) Keep Water Clean and Chlorine-Free: Defend our natural, safe drinking water.
5) Let Locals Decide: Listen to residents and make your voice heard.
I don’t do nonsense, and I can’t be bothered with politics. All I want to do is deliver the results that we all want. I work for you and only you.
