Why I'm standing
As an independent candidate, I am driven by a strong passion for making a positive difference, promoting equality and uplifting our community through social empowerment. As an independent candidate, I hope to set an example for future candidates that an individual only needs to take the first step to realise that they can make a change for their betterment and our society.
About me
I want New Zealand to be equal, respectful, and have wellbeing for all. We need to plan for the future and solve the problems today, not leave them for our children. We need to use innovation and creativity to lead the world in new industries. We need to develop our people's skills through work, education, and training. We also need to respect and value the Treaty of Waitangi, which is crucial for our history and unity.
My priorities
- Equality and respect for all communities to ensure no one is being left behind.
- Education that is sustainable and brings new ideas for future industries.
- Develop quality work opportunities to bring wealth to individuals.
