Glenda Hughes
Independent Former Councillor
Why I'm standing
I am standing for the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) because I believe the region needs improved decision-making and efficient spending to meet current economic challenges. I am a born and bred Wellingtonian and love the city and wish to help make it a place that people are willing to invest in. I am committed to delivering achievable solutions grounded in practical action rather than ideology.
About me
My diverse career as a police officer, captaincy of the New Zealand Athletics Team, CEO and governance roles with charitable organisations, NGOs, and national industry bodies, I have developed strong capabilities in both strategic oversight and operational management. Currently, I work collaboratively with businesses and government agencies, with a particular emphasis on problem-solving. As a long-standing Wellington resident, accomplished athlete, and community advocate, I wish to work to ensure Wellington builds on its potential.
My priorities
- Work to continue to improve accessible public transport for all throughout the region.
- Review projects to ensure budget assumptions are evidence-based, preventing further cost overruns.
- Evaluate expenditure, identify areas for cost reduction and lower predicted rate increases.
