| MP for Epsom
Why I'm standing
I believe New Zealand is going in the wrong direction under Labour. The government has got its values wrong with excessive borrowing, taxing and spending, a lack of consequences for criminals and dividing New Zealanders by race. I'm standing with ACT because it's the only party offering New Zealand real change in these areas. ACT will get government spending under control, get tougher and smarter on crime and unite Kiwis behind their common humanity.
About me
Being elected to Parliament is a great privilege and responsibility. Being an effective MP means listening to constituents, which is why you'll often see me at street corner meetings and visiting businesses. It's also essential to help people, and since becoming the Epsom MP my office has helped over 2,000 constituents with things like ACC claims or hazardous trees, and I've spoken up on electorate-wide issues like Parnell cycleways and threats to Epsom's school zones.
My priorities
- Restore law and order by holding criminals accountable and recognising rights of victims.
- Cut the cost of living by cutting wasteful Government spending, cutting tax and cutting red tape.
- Unite Kiwis behind a Treaty which recognises their common humanity and stop dividing NZ by race.
