I’ve been privileged to call Devonport home for more than 30 years. I'm passionate about the Shore and its breathtaking beauty. It’s an amazing place to live and a great place to visit. But our communities are facing challenges and change. We need pragmatic, future-focused solutions. As a television presenter/producer, I have spent the best part of my life telling New Zealand stories, helping the underdog get a fair go and celebrating our sporting success on the world stage. I want to ensure our slice of paradise remains a great place for future generations. Working together as a community is where we draw strength. A vote for me ensures independent decision making that's driven by a vision for a better future. I will fight for rates affordability, an end to band-aid solutions, better infrastructure, cleaner beaches and all things that help us build a prosperous community.
