Join the Campaign
Darwin deserves a Mayor who puts people first someone who listens, cares, and acts for the community. I’m ready to take on that responsibility, but I can’t do it alone. This campaign isn’t just about one person — it’s about all of us, working together to build a better future for our city.
If you believe Darwin can be safer, cleaner, more vibrant and connected — I’d be honoured to have your support. I’m standing for Lord Mayor of Darwin, and also running as Councillor for Richardson Ward, to bring strong, local voices back into Council and ensure decisions reflect community priorities.
This campaign is powered by people — and every idea, conversation, or show of support helps.
Follow the journey, join the conversation, and help spread the word. Let’s bring energy back into this city and deliver leadership that reflects the best of who we are.
Together, we can build a Darwin that’s proud of its past and excited about its future. Let’s get to work.
Why I’m Running
I’m not coming back for politics. I’m coming back because I care deeply about this city — and because I believe Darwin needs a leader who will genuinely act for the people.
After years serving on the frontlines as a police officer, representing our community in Parliament, and later running my own business, I’ve watched with real concern as Darwin’s progress has slowed, its potential sidelined, and too many community voices ignored.
This city has so much heart — and it deserves leadership that reflects that.
A Mayor who listens, not lectures. Someone who shows up, rolls up their sleeves, and delivers real outcomes, not just promises.
Darwin needs steady hands, clear direction, and someone who knows how government should work — for you.
I’m here because I believe we can do better. And I know we will — together.
It’s time for a Lord Mayor who is approachable, available and accountable.
