Why I'm standing

I believe everyone in Aotearoa has the right to a roof over their head, good, healthy kai and opportunities to thrive and grow to their full potential.

About me

I am a born and bred Waikato girl, I have and am still raising five tamariki along side my rock, my husband and our three mokopuna. We believe in the nuclear family being healthy and thriving which impacts our wider whanau, friends, community and our nation.

My priorities
  1. Advocate for law and order reform. Heal the trauma of the offender. Journey with them.
  2. Bring back the nuclear family. Less government interference. Onus back on the parents.
  3. Reform education. Education system that empowers the individual. Critical thought.
