And I have been very consistent on each of these, since on Council:

And as I have said again and again, current rate increases are not sustainable.

Ensure our infrastructure is maintained, improved and prioritised over unnecessary vanity projects, and political party driven ideology.

I have a proven track record of working hard for this community both as a city Councillor and outside of Council.
I have stood strong on social justice issues.
Stood strong on my principles, stood strong on what I believe is best for the wellbeing of our community. Even when I have been a sole voice at the table.
Iโve never backed down on asking or answering the tough questions. I have never been dictated by any political party agenda.
And have always put our Nelson Community needs first.

Biggest challenge facing this city, is still housing affordability and availability.
I want to make sure Nelson is the best place to live and grow a family, and for local businesses to thrive.
Iโve been very blessed to be at the Council table, and very thankful for the broad support I get from the community.
And have never taken that for granted.
