Lisa Lewis
Why I'm standing
I am Lisa Lewis. Growing up I attended Torbay Primary, Northcross Intermediate, Rangitoto College, Long Bay College. I am an independent woman that puts work before my personal life. In 2009, I was nominated for Veuve Clicquot Businesswoman of the year. I believe in respecting people's property, boundaries, and privacy. Council has an obligation when making decisions surrounding a city on how matters will impact residential areas.
About me
For five years, I pursued council regarding no RMA (Resource Management Act/resource consent) negatively affecting a residential area. My persistence paid off with compliance enforced. That dedication I will bring to this position and to the job as Mayor of Auckland. Vote Lisa Lewis, Mayor of Auckland, New Zealand.
My priorities
- Safety: Ram-raids, gangs, drugs, violence and police assistance with more CCTV for police evidence.
- Costs: Ensure rate-payers are not fronting bills on another term of pet-projects in covid recovery.
- Everyone should feel safe in their home and feel they have a home. Reduce costs in communities.
