Angela Strange
Waikato Regional Councillor, representing Hamilton
Why I'm standing
I am proud to call Hamilton home and am seeking re-election to keep driving meaningful progress at WRC. I believe our environment is the heart of Waikato's identity and wellbeing – it must be protected with urgency and care. I bring strong governance experience, a collaborative spirit and a clear focus on results. I want to cut through distractions and deliver real action. Together, we can ensure WRC leads boldly, safeguards our future and reflects the values our communities deserve.
About me
I am passionate about serving our communities with strong governance, teamwork and real understanding. I believe in respectful debate because listening leads to smarter decisions. I know the financial pressure many face, and I am pushing for better funding tools beyond rates and debt. That way, we can invest in our region's future without adding to the burden. Together, we can build a Waikato that is fair, future-focused and thriving.
My priorities
- Advocate for public transport that is frequent and reliable, including Te Huia passenger rail.
- Collaborate to uphold and enhance council effectiveness in serving the community.
- Protect the environment for now and future generations. Protecting and enhancing biodiversity is key.
