Committed to the People. After 28 years in Waitakere and over 40 years as a lawyer, I am seeking your support to serve on the Waitakere Ward. I'm standing as an independent candidate, not aligned with any political party. My commitment is to our Waitakere community, not to party politics or outside agendas. Throughout my legal career, I've listened, advocated, and worked hard to resolve real problems for my clients. I will bring that same approach to local government. My priorities are straightforward: Cap rates to keep life affordable; Cut wasteful spending on non-essential projects. Focus on core services: roads, rubbish, water, parks and transport. Waitakere deserves practical, no-nonsense leadership-someone who listens and delivers without spin or party pressure. That's who I am and always have been. I will represent your voice, act with transparency, work hard to protect what matters to our community. Vote for people-first leadership.
