Why I'm standing

My tupuna settled here over 200 years ago because they saw the potential that this area had to provide for our people. I see that same potential for us all, ahakoa ko wai – ahakoa no whea.

About me

I am a long serving member of my iwi governance board which handles all of our iwi owned assets. I also serve as a local career firefighter with close to a decade of experience. I am comfortable in making hard decisions under pressure. I am also experienced in taking a tikanga based approach to decision making. I am well equipped to be the Māori voice for Porirua.

My priorities
  1. Mauirora: improving opportunities for the better wellbeing of our people.
  2. Taiora: progressing the wellbeing of the Taiao, especially Te Awarua o Parirua, with positive action.
  3. Auaha: being innovative in preparing Porirua for 2040 and beyond.
