Why I'm standing

I am running for the Papakura Local Board because I'm passionate about strengthening our community and making Papakura a safer, vibrant place to live, work, and raise a family. I believe in practical solutions, listening to residents, ensuring local voices shape local decisions. I'm committed to building strong relationships with mana whenua and honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. With a focus on youth, safety, and sustainability, I'll work hard to represent and uplift our community.

About me

Raised in Papakura, former local business manager and now on the Papakura Marae Executive Board. Work involves uplifting Whānau and building Rangatahi leadership. Proud father and regular attendee at the South Auckland Run Club.
