Where do we begin

  • My vision for Upper Hutt is for a thriving city where families, communities, and local businesses are proud of who we are, what we have achieved and can achieve, for ourselves and for greater Wellington.

  • Upper Hutt has always been good to me and my family. Now, I would like to give something back in return. If elected, I will always be approachable, promise to listen, and to work with integrity.
