Why I'm standing

I believe that Horizons Regional Council needs new and fresh Raki Māori representatives to ensure that the modern-day problems of everyday Māori are getting sorted.

About me

I am a born and raised uri of Raki Māori who has been taught how to care for and lead our people. I listen, I take in, I get it done.

My priorities
  1. Advocate for Māori land rates policy.
  2. Advocate for Wai Māori policy.
  3. Advocate for Mātauranga Māori policy.
