| MP for Mana
Why I'm standing
Throughout my life, I've been fortunate to have Labour governments and policies to stop me and my family falling through the cracks. Labour has always been the party for the working people. I'm standing because I believe people in Mana deserve someone in Parliament who knows challenges and opportunities and will ensure that policies that help our people when things happen unexpectedly in life, are there to protect them from falling through the cracks.
About me
I'm 100% committed to Mana. This is my home, and I'm proud to live in Mana, raise my family in Mana, and represent Mana. Mana is an electorate that rewards hard work, and I have worked hard to ensure that investment was poured into Mana so we could build more houses, our schools could get additional classrooms, roads could be completed, and our families could get ahead.
My priorities
- Advocate for more investment in infrastructure – so we can build more houses.
- Continued investment in housing – greater the supply in housing, the lower the cost to rent or own.
- Reduce the cost of living through free prescriptions, public transport for under 12s, lunches in school.
