| Councillor for Greater Wellington Regional Council
Why I'm standing
I'm committed to economic, social and environmental justice and I know how important local government is to delivering this. We have an amazing region in Wellington and I want to continue the work I've started on climate, transport and nature. I want to continue to build strong relationships with mana whenua and with communities around the region and I want to make the council a more relevant and reliable partner.
About me
I believe in fairness, thoughtful planning and dedicated teamwork. In a time of climate transition we need coordinated, effective regional leadership focused on the public good. I have two decades of experience working for social change at the local, national and international level. I have set up, led and advised successful international campaigns and organisations, I've worked in business and community organising, and I have significant governance experience both in and outside council.
My priorities
- Cut emissions by providing better public transport, walking and biking and higher quality housing.
- Restore forests, wetlands and streams to clean water, store carbon and prevent floods and droughts.
- Fund and empower mana whenua and community groups to continue their mahi across ecological projects.
