Greetings neighbours,

Just a very quick post to introduce myself following the announcement of most of our candidates this week.

I’m a Hamilton local and live here with my wife and daughter. I own and manage several small businesses, including an immigration law firm. I also work for a large NGO in the mental health sector, and am involved in a range of community organisations (with a focus on the arts and music).

Happy to answer what I can, but please keep it civil. Political candidates from all parties receive an unbelievable amount of abusive emails and messages from the general public and I would quite like to discourage that where I can!

Please note that I generally won’t be posting on Neighbourly, rather the best way to stay up to date is by liking my public page: www.facebook.com...
