Amanda Clinton-Gohdes
New Plymouth District Councillor
Why I'm standing
I am determined that New Plymouth will keep being an incredible place. We are facing significant environmental and economic challenges. Council needs to respond to these challenges and ensure that our community is in the best possible position for the future. I believe that having future-focussed people with big hearts and sharp minds on council can really make a difference, and I want to continue building on the work achieved over the last three years.
About me
As a former lawyer and scientist with a heart for the community, I bring a well-researched, thorough, and thoughtful approach to council. I understand complex problems and technical detail, but also see the big picture. I am a people-person with strong communication skills, acting as a bridge between the community and the Council. Having been a councillor for three years, I understand the system, and can now accelerate action and change.
My priorities
- Responding to climate change by rapidly reducing emissions and adapting to changing weather patterns.
- Working in partnership with tangata whenua to ensure the best outcomes for future generations.
- Improve availability and quality of housing by working in partnership, making required investments.
