Why I'm standing
I'm running for National in Manurewa to give back to a country that's given me so much. In Manurewa, families struggle with the high cost of living, making essentials like groceries and petrol unaffordable. This election, choose between a strong National-led government with plans to reduce living costs, restore law and order, and address Manurewa's specific issues, or a coalition of chaos that lacks direction.
About me
In 2002, I moved to New Zealand as an international student and developed a deep love for this country. My journey began with two jobs – working as a supermarket cleaner and a pizza delivery driver. With determination, I started my own business while raising a family. My aspiration is to bring positive change to South Auckland, and I am committed to working relentlessly as Manurewa's next local MP if given the opportunity to serve.
My priorities
- Grow our local economy and reduce the cost of living by reducing red tape and providing tax relief.
- Back police by giving them a range of new powers to disrupt and crack down on crime.
- Ensure better education for all children and reliable healthcare when we need it.
