Dunedin electorate

Dunedin covers most of central Dunedin and the western and northern hill suburbs. It includes Waikouaiti in the north and Port Chalmers and the Otago Peninsula in the east. The seat is currently held by Labour's David Clark, who won safely with a margin of 15,521. Clark is not standing again in 2023. In 2020, Labour won the greatest share of party votes in Dunedin – 55% to Green's 18%. Labour have held the seat for all but three years since 1928.

Why I'm standing

I believe New Zealand has forgotten about everyday kiwis and those struggling the most during this cost of living crisis, we need to get back to putting all New Zealanders first. I believe we need to focus on investing in our education and health systems – and I want us to get back to delivering the fundamental services in these areas.

About me

I've made Dunedin my home over the last five years, I want to see us thrive. I was born premature in Dunedin hospital, they literally saved my life, I am appalled that our hospital rebuild has been continuously gutted in favour of virtue signalling projects in Auckland. I was a fighter in Dunedin when I was born, I want to be a fighter for Dunedin now.

My priorities
  1. Advocate for a free, fair, and equal access to quality education, especially for our tertiary students.
  2. Ensure we fund our hospital rebuild to its full original amount.
  3. Invest in our industries that set us up for success, like Hillside, Invermay, and more.
