Why I'm standing
I am here to lift our whānau voice. To serve our people and our community and take an active role to strengthen partnerships and grow participation to better understand how to protect our region together.
About me
I was born in Pātea hospital, I grew up in Pātea, I went to all the schools, and grew up in the Poi E bus with my aunties, uncles, and cuzzie. I was at the marae with my grandfathers – it is my turn to give back.
My priorities
- Increase Māori culture, art, language and education in our region.
- Create better and safer parks for our kids, whānau, and communities.
- Equity resource our rugby league community, building, and fields.
