I am a local business manager. If you work in Cambridge, I represent you. If you shop in Cambridge, I represent you. If you love our restaurants, farmers market, small town vibe, character buildings, and free parking, then Like Mike.

This council is making it hard to do business in Waipa. They are choking the lifeblood of our town with speedbumps. They are not listening to us, and they have plans to do worse. The current councillors are not working for you. We need to take back control and manage council operations for the people, on time and on budget, to stop the big rates rises.

We need a Better Waipa team of commonsense councillors who will listen and work for both town and country residents.

I pledge to use my customer-focused business experience to get the best service at the best value.
