After enjoying 8 years of representing the people of Ballina Shire, I have decided to annouce my candidacy for A ward in Ballina and I ask for your support

It has been a privilege and an adventure to represent our people and shire, having input into helping solve, alleviate, mitigate individual problems and issues:
