David Lee
Let's Get Wellington Working
| Councillor - Great Wellington Regional Council (Wellington)
Why I'm standing
I am standing because Wellington needs disciplined, practical leadership to get finances under control and restore affordability for residents and businesses. In just six years, council debt has quadrupled to $2.1 billion, while rates keep rising and basic services come under pressure.
About me
I am an experienced governor, entrepreneur and urban planner. I bring over 20 years of governance and commercial expertise, with a proven record of delivering results and making tough financial decisions. Coupled with strong community connections, I am committed to applying this experience to deliver practical solutions that enhance the city, support local businesses and put Wellington back on the path to smart, sustainable growth.
My priorities
- Get Wellingtonians working with economic recovery and job creation. Wellington jobs for Wellington people.
- Get the infrastructure working with no more delays. Fix what is broken and build what is needed.
- Get the council working with functional leadership, less talk and more action, and a council that delivers.
