Why I'm standing
I'm running because I believe we need vision and ambition for how New Zealand navigates the uncertain future ahead. Flooding on the Shore shows why action is so urgent. We need a genuine leader to get stuck in and make hard calls for all Kiwis. Chris Hipkins is that leader, and I'd be proud to help shape a positive future for our country and be a strong advocate for all the people of North Shore.
About me
I'm married and a new dad with a baby daughter living in Devonport. My roots on the Shore go deep, and I'm passionate about its future. I've founded start-ups, been a board director, studied business at Harvard and as a Fulbright Scholar at Columbia and I'm co-owner of Mr Whippy NZ. I'm proud to have been a diplomat for our country and led urgent climate and energy work at the UN with the Secretary-General.
My priorities
- Be the North Shore's number one advocate for you and for all people living there, and for climate action.
- Strong voice for social issues and inequality across education & health, child poverty and crime.
- Deal with local transport and the cost of living crisis, and foster economic opportunities for us all.
