Upper Harbour electorate
Upper Harbour covers the communities on both sides of Auckland’s Upper Harbour bridge, including suburbs such as Westgate, Tōtara Vale, and Hobsonville. It is held by National’s Cameron Brewer, who was first elected in 2023 with a margin of 21,498. National won the party vote with 50%, followed by Labour with 22%. The electorate has the highest proportion of women who have exactly one child. Perhaps because of this, it also has the highest proportion of houses with three regular residents.

Why I'm standing
Aotearoa is home. Seeing our country's confidence and ambition fade, with Kiwis heading offshore for opportunity while households face rising costs, strained health services and a tougher job market, was enough to bring me home from Australia. I want Kiwis to see a future here at home, which is why I'm standing alongside a new generation of leaders to build a government that backs new ideas, enables prosperity and creates opportunities for all.
About me
I believe good representation starts with listening, understanding and serving others. My career across different government policy areas has taught me to navigate complexity, see different perspectives and turn ideas into practical outcomes. My Samoan cultural grounding has reinforced the values I bring to public life: service, humility, collective responsibility and respect for others. These qualities allow me to be a good connector, challenge the status quo and deliver meaningful results that improve people's lives.
My priorities
- Push for investment in infrastructure ahead of growth so Upper Harbour can move, connect and thrive.
- Support business innovation that promotes high value and delivers social and environmental impact.
- Challenge mono/duo-polies & expand renewable energy to drive down costs for consumers and business.
