Time and again, ratepayers have been let down by Auckland Council with higher rates, more red tape on businesses, and wasteful spending on vanity projects. It is time to give Council a wake-up call and focus on the things that matter. Growing up in Howick, I understand the pressures local families face, and my global experience and leadership in crisis response, infrastructure, and operations means I have all the experience needed to bring practical solutions back to Howick. By voting for me as an ACT Local candidate you know exactly what you’re going to get: I will keep rates down, prioritize essential infrastructure like our roads, water and waste services, reduce needless red tape to allow businesses to thrive, and guarantee accountability so that the community voice is actually heard. If you want to see common sense back around the council table, please give me one of your two votes.
