Time and again, Auckland Council has let residents down with wasteful spending on nice to haves and ideological pet projects, handouts to special interest groups that don’t reflect our community, and neglected local services and facilities that our board is meant to champion. As someone deeply involved in our community, I see the challenges we face every day. My background in electrical engineering, construction, and running my own company gives me the practical experience to achieve better services and smarter solutions for the Hibiscus Coast. By voting for me as an ACT Local candidate, you know what you are going to get: efficient use of resources, support for local initiatives and businesses, strong advocacy for growth through local enterprise, and opposition to spending or policies driven by ideology rather than need. If you want common sense back at the decision making table, please give me one of your votes.
