| Chair of Puketāpapa Local Board, Auckland Council
Why I'm standing
After 12 years on the Puketāpapa Local Board I am keen to take my advocacy skills and understanding of council to the regional level for Albert-Eden-Puketāpapa. I have a strong track record of working for a child-friendly Auckland, focusing on equity, climate action, transport choice and housing. I support strong community input to decision-making, and will champion local voices at the council table.
About me
As an elected member I've learned to collaborate with people who hold different views to find agreement. I'm clear about my values and priorities, and I have a record of working with others to make positive changes, in local government, early childhood education and women's health. I understand that a lot of the job is reading and listening, and asking good questions, and the need to make hard decisions for our future.
My priorities
- Supporting real action on climate change, to mitigate and adapt; otherwise the future is very grim.
- Improving decision-making processes to help communities make real change.
- Supporting the compact city model to house everyone and reduce carbon emissions.
