Northland electorate

Northland is currently held by Labour's Willow-Jean Prime, who won by a narrow margin of 163 – one of the smallest margins in the country. In 2020, Labour won the greatest share of party votes in Northland – 44% to National's 27%. Since the seat was established in 1996, it has been mainly held by National MPs, except for 2015 to 2017 when Winston Peters won the seat at a by-election, and 2020 when Labour won.

Why I'm standing

To make our country a better place for my kids and grandkids.

About me

I'm a fighter and I stand up for what is right, I hate seeing injustice and suffering, it's not about race it's about need, we are all Kiwis and we need to support one another.

My priorities
  1. Restore our basic human rights, reduce government intrusion into our lives.
  2. Construct a four-lane expressway to Northland.
  3. Reduce criminal offending by addressing the drivers of crime.
