The council provides funding to local boards to provide public services in their areas, and manages council-controlled organisations which provide infrastructure, such as public transport, water and sewerage. The councillors and mayor make up the governing body, which shares governance of Auckland Council with the 21 local boards. The governing body is made up of 20 councillors plus the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in Auckland). two councillors will be elected from your ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
I am running because our community needs someone who does not just talk, but acts. Since taking over Mangere Town Centre, I have delivered real, visible change – cleaner town centre, safer space, revitalised facilities and stronger support for local businesses. I will bring the same energy and practical approach to the wider community, turning promises into results people can see, feel and rely on.
About me
I will make a good elected representative because I combine experience, commitment and a results-focused approach. I have spent years working in the public sector with MSD and now leading Mangere Town Centre, delivering visible improvements for the community.
My priorities
- Focus on smart spending for the community with transparency and real results through funding for real impact.
- Initiate youth hub in Mangere Town Centre as a safe, fun space for learning, mentoring and play.
- Protect streets by cracking down on dumping and roaming dogs.
