MCINNES Rachel - Candidate profile

My principal place of residence is in the Waikouaiti Coast Community Board area.
New-ish local, long-time listener, full-time doer.
I’m standing for the Waikouaiti Community Board because I care deeply about this place and the people in it. My background’s in leadership, strategy, and sorting out gnarly problems (mostly human ones), but I’m also pretty handy with a paintbrush and a power tool.
If elected, my approach is simple: listen, listen, listen—then act. I’ll back the things locals actually care about: flood prevention that works, decent buses, keeping our library and Resource Centre going strong, and making sure our infrastructure isn’t quietly falling to bits.
If you’re after someone practical, curious, and slightly allergic to waffle—I’m your human.
