I stand for transparency, accountability & for the constituents. A real alternative in left politics.

I am under the employment of my constituents, I will work for them and with them. People power is key. To help bring back rural Kerry from the brink.

I will look to have a Bill passed that will support the postmasters in their struggle to keep their doors open. We cannot afford to lose our post offices.
