Standing For: Napier City Council
Mayor
Voter Guide Profile: Experience matters when times are tough. As your mayor I have focused on improving neglected infrastructure, delivered clean water, sought other revenue streams and cost savings to keep rates down, and invested in core services that matter to you. Now more than ever we need stability, not disruption. My vision is rooted in long-term thinking, making decisions today that will benefit us, our children and grandchildren. That’s why I champion sustainable development, responsible growth and policies that safeguard our future.
I have led with a steady hand through challenging times—from cyclone recovery to economic uncertainty—ensuring our community remains resilient and forward-moving. I am not here for short-term wins, I’m here to ensure our city continues to thrive for generations. With your support I will lead with integrity, purpose and a deep commitment to the community we call home.
