Why I'm standing

I'm running for election because I firmly believe in the potential of Aotearoa to lead the way towards a sustainable and equitable future. Our nation's unique beauty and resources are worth preserving for generations to come. As a candidate for the Green Party of Aotearoa, I'm driven by ecological wisdom and social responsibility principles. I envision an Aotearoa that not only thrives economically but also nurtures its environment and takes care of all its people.

About me

I am confident that I will be an effective elected representative due to my strong commitment to social justice and the environment. My passion for these issues drives me to work tirelessly in advocating for equitable policies and sustainable practices. Additionally, my dedication to our community's well-being and my deep understanding of these matters make me a strong candidate. I'm ready to bring my energy and principles to serve as a voice for positive change.

My priorities
  1. Advocate for a fairer tax system by introducing a minimum guaranteed income to end poverty.
  2. Increase the supply of affordable housing by building more public housing.
  3. Prioritise reliable, efficient public transport to connect our communities and reduce emissions.
