Why I'm standing
Wellington Central is the most progressive electorate in Aotearoa. I want to ensure that we have a city that reflects our values and increases the pace of change to make life affordable and meet our climate targets. This includes building thousands of affordable, good quality homes; building light rail to decarbonise our transport system and make the wider bus network reliable; and making our tax system fair.
About me
It has been an honour and a privilege representing you as a city councillor for four years. I have been at the coalface of challenging conversations around greater housing density, decarbonising our transport system and fighting for health-based solutions to care for our most vulnerable. My track record shows that I know how to be effective. Being an MP will allow me to accelerate the change you want to see in our city.
My priorities
- Housing: rent controls, rental warrant of fitness and building more affordable, good quality homes.
- Transport: accelerating the delivery of light rail & making the wider bus and train network reliable.
- Tax: a $10,000 tax-free threshold, implementing a wealth tax and liveable incomes for all.
