Why I'm standing
I believe this election is the most pivotal in a decade for action on climate change and equality. Only the Greens will take action at the pace and scale needed. This election, I am asking for your party vote first and foremost - only a party vote for the Greens will elect more Green MPs and ensure bold climate action, protection of nature and communities where everyone has enough to live a good life.
About me
This election, I am asking Nelson voters to party vote Green. However, I have been a featured speaker on the issues of sustainable transport, electric vehicles and converting cities to bike friendly transport models. I have also served on the Auckland Councils' transport futures committee, on the board of the Sustainable Business Network, as a transport consultant to Nextgen, and on the leadership group of the Climate Forum in Nelson.
My priorities
- Build flood resilience, including climate-friendly transport and green spaces for people and nature.
- Provide grants and loans to enable homes to replace gas with electric and install solar panels.
- Introduce the NZ dental service: free primary dental for all by 2024 and specialist care by 2025.
