NZ Election 2026

Glendene electorate

Glendene covers west Auckland shrubs, including Avondale, Kelston, and the Te Atatū peninsula. The electorate was founded for the first time in 2026, though its predecessor electorates of Te Atatū and Kelston were only ever held by Labour in the MMP era.

Why I'm standing

The time is right for a clear and uncompromising voice for animals in New Zealand - they need representation in politics. Don't waste your vote on the major parties - vote for your values, and help us get to five percent so that we can speak up for vulnerable animals.

About me

As a long-time animal advocate, and a chartered accountant, I bring both empathy and organisational skills to help speak effectively for animals, and for this dynamic and vibrant community of animal-lovers. I won't just be another suit in Wellington - the Animal Justice Party is running in many electorates on a platform of compassion, equality and non-violence. I'll stand up for animals, who desperately need a voice in parliament. Vote for your values!

My priorities

  1. Ensure residents' compassionate nature is reflected in their representative in parliament.
  2. Foster empathy, and ensure that the needs of human and animal residents are heard in politics.
  3. Encourage more and better green spaces for humans and animals to enjoy safely together.
