I am drawn to this historic place because I want to make change and see change happen for my community. Nelson is one of the most unaffordable places for people to buy or rent a home. This is what I want to change. A warm, stable, affordable home is the basic building block needed for families and communities to thrive. I am particularly keen for property managers to be registered. This is something I've personally advocated and campaigned for. I liken the relationship between tenant and landlord to that of employee and employer. There is an inherent power imbalance. I am firmly of the view that if we can improve people's housing, we can improve other outcomes for people: health, mental health, employment, education, and economic outcomes. These are the issues I will focus on for Nelson for as long as I am privileged to hold the seat in this place.
