Why I'm standing
I'm running to be your local MP so this can be a community where everyone has healthy affordable homes and reliable climate-friendly transport. My whānau and I are proud to call Rongotai home. I know that Rongotai can be a community where everyone has the resources that they need to live a good life, in a thriving environment. Wellington can be a city where we put climate and community first.
About me
I've been a Green MP for 11 years. In that time, I've worked tirelessly to deliver policies that improve people's lives and combat climate change. When I was Minister for Women, I made sure thousands got the pay rise they deserved through the Public Sector Gender Pay Gap Action Plan. As Associate Minister of Transport, I authored the Clean Car policies that have led to a huge shift to low & zero emissions vehicles.
My priorities
- Ensure everyone has a warm, heathy, affordable and secure home, whether they rent or own.
- Provide frequent, reliable electric buses, light rail and ferries, and safe routes for biking & walking.
- End poverty with a guaranteed minimum income and tax free threshold, funded by a fairer tax system.
