Why I'm standing
I believe that governments are judged by how they mange the economy, care for low income families and the environment. We have been through some very difficult years and I am sure that the Labour Party and it's policies will look after all New Zealanders and the environment. I am deeply concerned about the possibility of a right-wing coalition government that fuels unproductive, inflationary property speculation and bases policy on evidence-free populist policies.
About me
I am a Kumeu local who is actively involved in many community organisations including the Lions, Kumeu Arts, Kumeu Emergency Network, Future Kumeu and the Rodney Local Board. I understand the issues that matter to the electorate and have been advocating on their behalf. Our family have had our house flooded three times in the past 2 years which has made me more determined to work for the resilient infrastructure needed to support our electorate.
My priorities
- Build infrastructural resilience. This year's cyclones exposed our vulnerability to extreme weather.
- Infrastructure before houses on future urban land. Transport issues solved before any new houses.
- More jobs in the electorate-encourage business development in the electorate to reduce travel.
