NZ Election 2026

Mt Roskill electorate

Mount Roskill covers many of Auckland’s western suburbs, including Hillsborough, Lynfield, and Blockhouse Bay. The seat is held by National’s Carlos Cheung, who was first elected in 2023 with a margin of 15,659 votes. National also won the party vote with 43% of the vote, while Labour was second with 30%. Amusingly, the eponymous suburb of Mount Roskill is actually split between the Mount Albert and Mount Roskill electorates.

Why I'm standing

I am running for Opportunity because it has a plan for a prosperous New Zealand. As a party committed to being a consistent voice in parliament for long-term change, Opportunity will be able to work across the political divide on real solutions to our problems. By cleaning up politics, abundant renewable energy, and getting R&D spending up to 2% of GDP, we can turn our stalling economy around and get the cost of living under control.

About me

We are running a party vote campaign only in Mt Roskill. If you can only give Opportunity one of your votes, that should be the party vote! If elected, I would make a good representative due to my experience working in diverse roles in the technology sector. These roles have given me strong interpersonal skills for building relationships and a deep understanding of complex systems. I would work tirelessly to deliver long-term change for NZ.

My priorities

  1. Deliver Abundant Energy. Electrification will deliver clean, affordable energy for our homes.
  2. Clean Up Politics. Shift lobbying into the daylight and get big money out of politics.
  3. Build a Breakthrough Economy. Fund science, stand up for fairness and back small businesses.
