Why I'm standing
I started my career as a secondary teacher, at a low decile high school in the Waikato. 15 years later, I'm standing for the Labour party based on the values that brought me to teaching. The values of equity and fairness and the importance that all our people have access to good quality education, housing and health.
About me
I'm a Hamiltonian! I work here, I live here, I'm raising my kids here. I'm a small business owner so I understand what it takes to run a business in Aotearoa. I'm also a union chief executive, so I see the importance of good pay and conditions for employees. I'm committed to strengthening our communities in Kirikiriroa, and giving everyone a fair deal.
My priorities
- A world class education system.
- Encouraging innovation and supporting businesses to thrive.
- A sustainable future.
