My vision is community focused and at the heart is the people. A District to be proud of, a caring and safe place we call HOME.

I’m standing as your new councillor because this special community is our hometown. I care deeply about people’s welfare and their financial, emotional and physical wellbeing, and I believe I can make a REAL difference.
