Why I'm standing
Now more than ever in Ōtautahi and Aotearoa we need green solutions to the complex challenges we face. The only way we can have a government that is focused on people and the future of our planet is by having more Green MPs and this gives me all the motivation I need to be a candidate and to help increase the Green Party vote.
About me
I have extensive political experience, including nine years as an elected member in local government, and six years as a Christchurch City Councillor. Throughout this time, I have represented residents in Ilam and know the issues and opportunities facing us. I have an environmental science degree and have played a key role in improving transport choice and community resilience in Ōtautahi.
My priorities
- Act boldly to both cut climate pollution and to prepare our communities for the future.
- End poverty with a guaranteed income for all through a fair tax system, so all have a good life.
- Protect our environment and restore our rivers, ocean, forests and wildlife to health.
