Standing For: Hastings District Council
Kahuranaki Ward

Voter Guide Profile: I’m a proud local with deep rural roots and a belief in community first decision making. My family lives, works, and grows here, I share the same concerns as every ratepayer when costs rise, and I’ll bring that perspective to the table.

I’m standing for Council because I care deeply about our community. I’ll be a strong, approachable voice, focused on decisions that protect our rural way of life, respect ratepayer money, and deliver real value where it’s needed most. I’ll advocate for smarter spending to ensure limited funds go further, prioritising core services and rural roads, the lifeblood of our communities.

With proven leadership track record in my current role at Croptide and previously the Hawke’s Bay A&P Society, I bring practical skills, collaborative thinking, and a “can do” attitude.

My commitment is to support a thriving, resilient future, for our people, our land, and generations to come.
