Candidate statement:
To continue the job I started on Te Hiku Community Board.
I have completed shade sails, a rugby field, two wharf projects; Houhora commercial and helped with Pukenui Houhora Big Game and Sport Fishing Club's new wharf. I have had the new Houhora Heads walking track completed. I have recently helped Houhora Golf Club and again Houhora Big Game and Sport Fishing Club with funding applications, both successful. I have several footpathing and traffic calming projects underway that I intend to complete.
I have helped lower speed limits past Ngataki School and Waiora Marae. I have put in countless RFS and helped members of the Public with RFS requests.

Candidate statement:
Kia Ora Koutou,
I have decided to stand for this position on the Te Hiku community board to support and advocate for our community in the North Cape division.
I have been raised, and my husband and I are raising our children in this community.
I would consider not only myself but also my whanau as being 'hands in' whenever help is needed.
I believe I am resilient, understanding, approachable and realistic.
Ngā mihi nui.
