Jeni de Jong
Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party
| Not currently in parliament
Why I'm standing
I'm a cannabis user and I don't believe I'm a criminal. Our 2020 elections saw 1.4 million want a legal cannabis law and I'm here to help push that voice. I survived a terminal condition with use of cannabis and believe everyone should have the freedom to choose whether a plant or a pill, and be able to grow their own if needed.
About me
I have a background in business and management. Worked in the local schools as a teacher aid and support many small groups. I want to see our community grow healthy with housing, education and health issues which are very important to me.
My priorities
- Legalise cannabis with law and order.
- Sort out the backlog on health and housing waiting lists.
- Sort out the roadworks on all our roads as soon as possible with an audit on the costing of the past three years.
