Why I'm standing
This election is a pivotal one for Aotearoa. We have a choice between maintaining the status quo or building a bright green future for everyone in our community; between divisiveness or solidarity; between quibbling over the definition of 'crisis' or taking real action to address the cost of living, housing, climate change and environmental exploitation. That's why I'm running.
About me
I'm a Pākehā, feminist, lefty māmā of one and resident of the beautiful electorate of Ōhāriu, Wellington. Like many people in Ōhāriu I'm a parent, a homeowner, a public servant, a commuter. My background is in communications and campaigns. I've worked in the union movement, public service and Parliament, as a political commentator, event MC and YouTube board game reviewer. I knit, I pole dance, and I occasionally garden.
My priorities
- Strengthen public transport: pushing for more reliable trains and buses, expanding OnDemand shuttles.
- Increase funding for ECEs to reduce waitlists and improve pay and conditions for kaiako.
- Engage with local council on critical issues like urban planning, water and disaster preparedness.
