I’m standing again!

29 Jun 2025


I’m proud to announce I’m standing for re-election as your Independent Councillor for Papanui.


I’m running again because I’m genuinely excited about our city's future. Christchurch is growing in confidence, energy, and ambition. This is a city on the rise, vibrant, welcoming, and fast becoming a place where people want to live, invest, and belong.

It’s been a privilege to represent the people of Papanui — standing up for common sense, responsible spending, and practical results. I’ve worked hard to ensure your local voice is heard at the Council table — putting people before party politics and focusing on practical results that are achievable and affordable. I’m proud of what we’ve delivered.

Throughout my term I’ve run weekly drop-in sessions at Papanui and Redwood libraries, listening to residents, answering hundreds of individual queries, and actively advocated on local issues.

There’s more to do, and I’m ready to keep delivering for Papanui and Christchurch. With a background in law, governance, and executive leadership, I’ll keep pushing for a strong, resilient, well-run city.

Let’s build a city that works — for everyone. Your City. Your Rates. Your Voice.
