Candidate statement

Vote for passion, experience and integrity.

Palmerston North is a great place to raise a family, and I'm committed to making sure it stays that way for generations to come. My wife Cathy and I have raised our eight children here and understand the economic pressure families face today.

I remain dedicated to delivering value for ratepayers; cutting unnecessary spending, reducing debt and ensuring services meet community needs.

As an active volunteer in our community, I work with at-risk youth, local schools, sports clubs and Grey Power.

Having represented our city and country as an athlete and coach, I know that success requires teamwork. The future of Palmerston North demands leaders who will work together to achieve the best result for our city.

If re-elected, I will lead with passion, experience and integrity. I will listen closely to the community, remain transparent in my decisions, and stand alone where required.
