Why I'm standing
I'm running for election because I'm passionate about Pakuranga and proudly local—I’ve lived here all my life and want to give back. I'll work to bring businesses back, reduce traffic congestion and stop illegal dumping. I'll keep discussions focused and efficient. I have attend meetings in person where possible, stay active through Crime Watch Patrol and engaged youth in civic duty. I stand for transparency, no wasteful spending and real value for ratepayers.
About me
I may be young, but I'm eager to learn and deeply committed to understanding and serving our community. I'm passionate about maintaining high attendance at meetings and dedicating my time to attending and engaging in local events. I believe in upholding our community values and ensuring Pakuranga always has a strong, local voice at the table. With energy, dedication and a genuine passion for service, I'm ready to represent and stand up for our community.
My priorities
- Reduce Pakuranga traffic by finishing the busway, adding parking and easing hotspots.
- Keep weekly rubbish collection, stop dumping and improve Tāmaki Estuary for a cleaner, healthier community.
- Support youth, culture, local business and safer inclusive spaces like fenced parks and playgrounds.
