Why I'm standing
I am motivated by care for our people and the environment. I want our kids and grandkids to have clean water and air and a healthy environment to raise families and build communities in. We also all deserve to have enough to pay the bills and meet unexpected costs, even when times are tough. Only the Green Party has a plan to make sure people and nature thrive for generations to come.
About me
I am a cabinet-maker and carpenter by trade and a proud father. I am passionate about sustainable design and local business. This election, I am asking Bay of Plenty voters to party vote Green. Only a party vote for the Greens will elect more Green MPs for the action our communities need for people and the planet.
My priorities
- Provide grants and loans to enable homes to replace gas with electric and install solar panels.
- Introduce the NZ dental service: free primary dental for all by 2024 and specialist care by 2025.
- Protect our oceans for generations to come: at least 30% of Aotearoa's oceans protected by 2030.
