Waipa District Council

Why I'm standing
I've seen poor governance in recent years—decisions made without community input, and priorities out of step with locals. I live here, and I want Cambridge to stay liveable, affordable, and connected. Someone needs to stand up for smart growth, strong infrastructure, and local control. I'll fight for fast travel, fair rates, and open council. Let's protect what makes Cambridge special—and make it even better.
About me
I live in Cambridge and understand the real issues facing our community. I've seen poor governance and know we need practical, local leadership. I'll bring common sense, transparency, and a focus on results—not bureaucracy. I listen, I act, and I care about keeping Cambridge liveable, affordable, and connected. I'll stand up for residents, protect our assets, and make sure council works for the people—not the other way around.
My priorities
- Rein in rates and restore fairness, transparency, and restraint because rates are out of control.
- Fix roads, expand parking, and build a new bridge to provide smooth travel and smart access in Cambridge.
- Retain ownership of community assets like water and protect Cambridge's character through local control.
