East Coast Bays electorate
East Coast Bays extends from the Okura river in the north to suburbs Windsor Park and Schnapper Rock in the south, and includes Long Bay, Torbay, Browns Bay and parts of Albany. The seat is currently held by National's Erica Stanford, who won comfortably with a margin of 8,764. In 2020, Labour won the greatest share of party votes in East Coast Bays – 40% to National's 38%. The seat was one of the few electorates in the country held by a minor party MP, when in 1980 Social Credit's Gary Knapp defeated National's Don Brash at a by-election.

Why I'm standing
The NZ government no longer represents the best interests of the NZ people. Instead, they are operating on behalf of large global corporations and taking their directions from unelected entities such as the WHO, WEF, and UN. This is corporate fascism and must be stopped. The COVID response was a good example. The government took its directions from the WHO and enriched the global pharmaceutical companies at the expense of New Zealanders.
About me
I care nothing for popularity or success in politics. I only care about getting the truth out to people so we can stop the encroaching tyranny that is coming upon us.
My priorities
- End the Auckland "super-city" and restore local borough councils to reduce wastage of our rates.
- End high density housing which is turning our communities into ghettos.
- Oppose the false climate change narrative which will result in extreme fuel costs.
