The West has been overlooked for way too long – we need much more focus on local issues that matter to people in the Western suburbs.

My family has deep roots here; I am a third-generation western suburbs local from hard-working, blue-collar stock. I understand first-hand what it means to feel the pinch of rising living costs, especially bringing up my son in a single-income family.
Like many in our community I have been appalled by the lack of investment in basic infrastructure such as our roads and simple safety measures such as traffic lights, street lighting, and pedestrian crossings to name a few. We shouldn’t have to advocate for years to have basic amenities delivered to our suburbs.

Leading the campaign for traffic lights at the Leakes Road / Western Freeway interchange has taught me the power of community coming together. Westies supporting each other and working together can achieve great things!

I want to continue the journey with you, to deliver more for the West! The West Party means local people delivering local results. I am excited to stand for Kororoit with this team– please join us!
