Why I'm standing
Growing up in a small marae settlement taught me the significance of what community is. After living in Paekākāriki for 36 years, I have seen a lot of changes, some challenging such as the housing crisis and some great. I have also seen this community grow and evolve. It is an amazing place to live.
About me
I am eighth generation from Kāpiti Island. My great-grandparents were land owners here in Paekākāriki until our extended whānau were moved on through the Reservations Act. Like my Haumia cousins, I have a pretty good grasp on historical events that happened here. I am also aware of issues we face now. I would be proud to work with and represent our hapū and iwi here.
My priorities
- Focus on people and the environment, which have always been my main kaupapa.
- Work with Haumia, Toa, Āhuru Mōwai and Paekākāriki Housing Trust to support locals who are being forced to leave.
- Prepare the community for environmental events because climate action is urgent.
