Why I'm standing
I'm standing to represent the people of Mt Albert. They deserve an unwavering, committed local MP that will push for the progressive change our people and planet need. Since being elected to parliament, I've demonstrated tireless advocacy to end inequality, working alongside constituents and communities to make positive, tangible differences to their lives. For the climate, for our community, and for change, I'm asking for two ticks Green in Mt Albert this election.
About me
This community has been my home for 15 years, I know many people are struggling to make ends meet. I've got a track record of progressing legislation and winning campaigns to increase incomes. I believe that poverty is a political choice. The Greens will provide lasting solutions that guarantee everyone in Aotearoa has what they need to live a good life. If elected, I'll be an accessible, present and committed Green MP for Mt Albert.
My priorities
- Ensure decent incomes and affordable housing so we can all put food on the table and pay the bills.
- Create climate-resilient, well-planned neighbourhoods where communities connect and thrive.
- Bring dental care into our free public health system, improving wellbeing for all.
