“Kāpiti is growing fast and has huge opportunities. We attract vibrant people and I want to empower them to help create a magnificent future that provides all our needs locally.

“Action on schools and hospital – With a population of 58,000 Kāpiti is entitled to existing government funding for a new 140+ bed hospital, 1 High School, and 2 Primary-Intermediate schools.

“Locals supporting locals – Together we can create a self-sufficient community with opportunities for job training, skill-sharing, entertainment, festivals, small business support, and spaces to learn and gather.

“I will be your voice delivering community needs.

“No rates increase – We can achieve all this and more without increasing rates through investments, partnerships, minimising wastage and existing government funding.
