Candidate statement

I’m standing for Palmerston North City Council because I believe in a city that is vibrant, inclusive, and forward-focused - a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can live, study, work, play, or build a business with pride. Our city should be a hub of lifestyle and opportunity, rich in culture, education, and enterprise.

With decades of experience in leadership, business, and community development, I bring a steady hand and an open heart. I’m not politically aligned - I serve the people, not a party.

Palmerston North deserves councillors who listen, act with integrity, and champion practical solutions. I will work for a cohesive, culturally diverse community that shares a common future - where every voice matters and progress benefits all.

Let’s build a city where families thrive, businesses grow, and the spirit of community shines.
