Why I'm standing
I want our country, and the communities I represent in West Auckland, to give everyone the best possible opportunity to do well in life. That means investing in the things we do together: our public health and education systems, safe streets, affordable warm dry homes, and a clean environment, so that people can then use their own talents and hard work to get ahead.
About me
I am an experienced lawmaker at Parliament, and local MP. I care, I work hard, and I use my influence and connections to get things done for the communities I represent in West Auckland. My work advocating for our people since the Anniversary Weekend floods is an example of how I work. I made sure local voices were heard, and lobbied hard for the needs of my constituents.
My priorities
- Continue to secure the investment in infrastructure West Auckland needs especially the Northwestern Busway.
- Secure timely, fair and sustainable solutions for Westies suffering in the aftermath of the floods.
- Continue investment in Waitakere Hospital, extra police on the beat, and investment in our schools.
