National Party

I love this community, but I understand it is getting harder to live here, because my family lives here too. Making ends meet, getting around and staying safe are all issues many are facing. In the last three years no new roads and next to no state houses have been built here. Gangs and crime are getting worse. I will stand up for the issues that matter.

I have lived in Tauranga since 2001, where I worked as a Crown prosecutor before becoming local MP in 2008. I am in touch with the issues facing our city and am dedicated to delivering what it needs.

I am passionate for this city and its potential. My family moved here in 1974, it has been a huge part of my life and I feel very privileged to represent the Bay in Parliament. I am grounded in our community, my lived experience is anchored in the needs of the region. I have been a strong advocate for more infrastructure and services for our growing city. I have advocated for more roads, schools, housing, after hours healthcare as well as many hundreds of local family issues for our community.

I am married to Michelle and have three children Aimee, Bradley and Amelia. I am very passionate about the power of our community, the remarkable people who live in it and our 'connectedness' to each other. I work hard to connect with and walk alongside this community, which is a very special place to live. I am very privileged to be the local MP since 2014. I am excited about our city's future but it needs to be a greater priority from central government.

The Coromandel electorate is not only beautiful it's big as well. Each of the many communities across the Hauraki Plains, around the Firth of Thames, on the Peninsula itself and south including Katikati and Omokoroa in Western Bay of Plenty, have their own challenges and opportunities. I'm seeking re-election to continue working on behalf of all who live, work and holiday in our wonderful region. To continue being a strong voice in our Parliament and a staunch advocate for the region.

My great grandparents settled at Kuaotunu on the Coromandel Peninsula in the late 1870s and the Simpson clan have been there ever since. At a personal level I hope my life and work experience along with contributions made to community and volunteer organisations helps give me the necessary skill set to be both an empathetic listener and a strong advocate for and on behalf of the electorate and those who live, work and visit here.

It has been my privilege to be the National MP based in Dunedin for the past twelve years and I hope to be able to continue in that role. I was a Minister in the previous National-led Government and presently am the National spokesperson for Regional Economic Development, Pike River re-entry and Associate Finance.

Born and raised in Dunedin and proud to have called Dunedin home for the past twenty years. Chartered accountant and former CEO of Mercy Hospital. Active rugby referee and Highlanders supporter. Former Rotarian and still active in the community. Very happily married with three beautiful daughters.

I believe Parliament needs to represent the diversity that exists in New Zealand. I felt honoured to be selected to represent the National Party in the Mt Albert electorate once again to contribute to shape the future of NZ.

I am a tireless advocate of the democratic process of NZ. I love championing the causes of our ethnic communities. I love innovation and creative new thinking in our digital and media sector.

I love Nelson and the opportunities the role gives me to help Nelson families and businesses. I am committed to making sure that Nelson remains the best little city in the world.

I have strong values that drive my support for family, enterprise, community and our environment. I am in the unique position of having long term experience and insight as to how our system works and how to get things done.

I represent rural communities in New Zealand. My specific interests are agriculture and the primary production economy.

I have made dairy farming a career, culminating in achieving inaugural Dairy Woman of the Year in 2012. In between on farm and parliament, I belonged to a range of agribusiness, agri-training and regional development boards and trusts. I currently reside in both Te Awamutu and Taranaki.

I believe that our country faces its greatest economic and unemployment crisis since the Great Depression. The New Zealand National Party has the team and background to get you, your families and your communities through the economic crisis ahead. I will be working hard to represent the constituents of Panmure-Ōtāhuhu in Parliament so we have more job opportunities for our children, good health and education for all.

I am first generation migrant, born and raised in India who migrated to New Zealand in 2001. My wife, Irvinder and I live in Takanini with our two sons, daughter-in-law and recently born granddaughter. Family and family values are the core of what shapes us and our thinking. I strongly believe in family bonds and ethics. I have and continue to encourage our current and future generations to earn their education and skills to become positive contributing members of our society.

I believe there is so much more we can do in NZ to make it a better and safer home. We are a country with abundant and unique natural resources, diversified cultures and talented hardworking kiwis. Our economy is in crisis now and it is extremely challenging for large and small businesses, and for the entire workforce in NZ. We need better and more effective economic management in time of crisis, and this is especially important and essential to growing our economy and creating jobs.

I am a chartered accountant by profession, with accounting and business backgrounds from the big four multinational accounting firms, as well as private companies in international trades and exports. I will make positive impact in parliament, through perseverance, hard work, positive mindset, appreciative attitudes and a strong belief that we will make New Zealand the best country in the world.

I'm running as a candidate because I believe it's our people, our families and communities that make New Zealand the best country in the world. Providing equal opportunities for all New Zealanders to learn, to work, to create, to be the best they can be makes our country better. New Zealand provided opportunities for my Samoan migrant parents when the arrived in the 1960s. I am a product of their values of hard work, family, faith, resilience and a desire to succeed.

I was born and raised in Auckland to Samoan migrant parents. I am married to Ward Kamo and we have been blessed with five children. I have completed a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Auckland and have run a successful retail clothing and export business with my sisters for the past eighteen years. As a working mother I have been involved in coaching kids netball teams and being the chair of the school board. Family, enterprise and resilience is what I bring to this role.

It has been an honour to have served our community and the country as a National MP for the last nine years. It is a privilege as a first generation Kiwi of migrant Pacific parents to represent the values and views of our community that are also reflected in our National party of equal citizenship and equal opportunity, strong families caring communities and self determination. I hope to leave a legacy of integrity of purpose for our future generations that is aspirational for Aotearoa.

I have been married to my beautiful wife Moka and we have four incredible children and two adorable grandchildren. I am a qualified electrician and I have actively supported trades as a credible career pathway. I also completed a theological degree and for twenty years with my wife committed ourselves in ministry to walking alongside people to find hope and healing that transformed their homes and family. I live by some simple old fashioned principles to serve our community and country.

I have a strong desire to continue the work I've been doing in supporting the businesses and constituents of the community I live in. It's an incredible feeling to see the work you're doing have a real world impact. A great example is the work I did to help Sounds Air secure funding in order to continue operating. Leading the community to rally around our local airline was incredibly rewarding. I believe I can continue to have a positive role as an elected leader for the Kaikōura electorate.

I hold a strong connection with my community having lived in Blenheim for 26 years. I have gained a wealth of experience working in various roles across the NZ wine industry, and will constantly advocate to ensure it remains a world leader. I believe our electorate deserves first-rate health services, having lead 'Save our Services' to successfully retain surgical services at Wairau Hospital. I will work to ensure that our electorate has better roads, more jobs and a stronger local economy.

I'm running for re-election because Maungakiekie is incredibly important to me. I've lived here for over 22 years, raised my family here and have been actively involved in the community over the many years. It is my home and it is personal. I have high aspirations for our community and want Maungakiekie to reach its full potential. That is why in my term I've fought for our residents and will continue to get things done and be Maungakiekie's voice every-day.

I'm determined, hard-working and, unbeknown to many, a closet amateur adrenaline junkie (politics isn't for the faint hearted!). I'm deeply connected to Maungakiekie and our community. I live and breathe local and bring this local service ethic to my role and actions every day. As the local MP accountable to my constituents, I always invite residents to comment and feedback on my results.

I want New Zealand to be an even better place and to see Kiwis achieve their ambitions. I'm committed to helping people, businesses and community groups across Ōhāriu. Whether it's national-level issues such as jobs and incomes, health, housing, education and public safety, or local concerns such as transport, infrastructure to support a growing city and retaining community services, I'm committed to helping people across Ōhāriu live the lives they want for themselves and their families.

I grew up in Porirua in the '70s and '80s. I left Victoria University with a degree in history and psychology and then spent twenty years working in the Information and Communication Technology industry. I have enormous confidence in how technology can improve productivity and lives in New Zealand. As important as national-level policy-making is, as an MP for the past six years, I've learned how important the role of supporting individuals, families and businesses in our communities is.

I believe the Rangitīkei is a great place to live and work and I want to ensure it is a great place for future generations to live and work in. New Zealand is the lucky country because of our location and we need to ensure all New Zealanders are able to make the most of our advantages.

I've lived and farmed in the Rangitīkei all my life and want to ensure our farming communities are well represented in parliament. My main interests are in sustainable agricultural systems ensuring we can continue to produce the best food in the world and I believe I have plenty of experience in agriculture, business and life to add to our team in Parliament.

I want to use the lessons I have learned and my life experiences to date to help influence positive change in our communities.

I was raised in the North and am closely connected to the region and its people. Having served 14 years in the Police, run several small businesses, including being a farmer and raised a family I believe everyone if given the right nurturing environment and positive role models can achieve their goals and dreams.

I am passionate about my community and my country. I believe strongly that New Zealand needs a government that enables businesses, communities, families and individuals to succeed. Currently, we are overburdened with rules, red tape and compliance and I will be working to reduce this. I'm also passionate about the agriculture sector and want to help develop solutions to enable greater productivity with a lower impact.

I was born and raised in the Waikato and am now raising my own family here. I have a varied background including farming, running my own businesses, an Army Officer, and a rural bank manager. I firmly believe in personal responsibility, individual freedom of choice, reward for hard work, strong families underpinning our society.

My commitment to giving back to our community has led me to a passion in public service. Our region needs a strong and effective advocate who can champion the issues important to us including protecting our natural environment, more jobs, safer communities, quality roading infrastructure, access to water, and lower taxes. I'll do my utmost best to be your strong and passionate voice to deliver results for you, your families and our communities.

I was born and bred in Christchurch and currently live in our electorate. I entered the University of Canterbury at age 15 and my professional career in the last six years have been in the Banking and Finance industry. For the past few years, I have also been serving at Local Government level gaining skills to be a strong advocate for the community, and learning how to get results. I am passionate about my community and focused on delivering real results that make positive change.

I am fully committed to a vibrant secure future for my family and all families in NZ and I intend to make a difference. My goals in Parliament are: one, to help NZ through crisis and ensure sensible decisions are made and my sons' and others futures are not mortgaged by excessive debt now for poor return; two, to ensure quality infrastructure and housing is delivered to meet demand; three, to ensure NZ's tax system is reformed fairly; four, move NZ to a country that delivers equal opportunity for all.

I am a Wellingtonian and have lived here all my life (excepting a 6 year period in US/ France). I have a 35 year track record of delivering results for clients as one of NZ's top commercial/tax lawyers. I have 16 years experience chairing the policy arm of the National Party (volunteer role), 13 years working closely with Sir Bill English. I have a track record of delivering for our community in volunteer roles as Chair Tennis NZ, Fulbright NZ, Wellington Tennis and pro bono legal work.

Takanini is my home and I am blessed to have lived and worked here for close to a decade and am actively involved in our local community. I have always been drawn to advocacy and service, and would love to represent my home, Takanini, and its residents - my neighbours - in Parliament. As a local, I have a deep understanding of Takanini's challenges, as well as our strengths. In me you will have a passionate and committed voice for Takanini who is accessible and accountable to you and your families.

One of five children, born to Lebanese parents who raised us with strong family values, I completed a degree in Law before marrying my husband Roger and moving to Takanini. Together, we run an emergency and transitional housing facility located in Takanini, and love to give back to our community through our charitable trust and by sponsoring local sports. Takanini has so much to offer. It needs a voice who will make sure we're not an after thought, and that our needs are persistently addressed.

Kelston is a vibrant and diverse part of Auckland, filled with so many hard working families who are trying to get ahead. The people of Kelston need a strong voice in Parliament that understands the challenges and difficulties faced by them. I believe that Kelston needs a government that enables job growth. If elected, I will spend my time delivering on issues that matter for Kelston and this great country. Instead of empty slogans, I will bring real and positive change to West Auckland.

I've lived in Avondale for the past 21 years, along with my wife and daughter. I have a Master's degree in Chemistry and currently work in a management role for a West Auckland-based business. I am an active member of the community, organising many fundraisers for local cultural associations. I believe that quality jobs and strong families are the cornerstone to success for any community. I believe that only National has the skills and policy to deliver for all New Zealanders.

I grew up in a family where I was told not to complain about something if I didn't want to do something about it. I was born and bred in Palmerston North and don't want to see our city get left off the map going into the 2020's. We need sensible, pragmatic solutions to problems in housing, transport, the economy, health, and the environment. We need a strong local MP in our city. I don't want to look back in 20 years time and regret not trying to make a difference.

I have been a passionate advocate for local issues, working to get funding for health programs in the Manawatū. My experience may be different to other candidates but I don't believe that makes it less valuable. I have been one of New Zealand's top youth diplomats, youth policy developers, and Youth MP for the Rangitīkei. Everybody in New Zealand no matter who they are deserves a fair chance in life. I want to help shape our country's future and add to the diversity of thinking in our democracy.

NZ and Remutaka are great places and deserve a National government equipped to deal with the economic challenges ahead. I grew up here during the recessions of the '80s and '90s and I'm standing because I want us all to have the services and work and business opportunities that only a strong economy can deliver. I back the people of Remutaka to deliver that. I want to help and I am backing National to deliver the infrastructure and policies needed to support us all and their businesses.

I grew up, went to school and uni from the electorate. I am on the board of my old school, sponsor local sports teams and have been working full-time in Remutaka since December 2019. My first job and business was here and my first law job was working for an Upper Hutt lawyer. My background is in law and business: both here and abroad and I have been both a partner of a major international law firm and the world's largest professional services firm. Like many of you family is my #1 priority.

I'm very proudly provincial New Zealand and I'm privileged to be a part of it. I want to make sure provincial New Zealand has the same opportunities and positive outcomes as those in cities, so that our children and grandchildren will have a productive and bright future.

I've lived in provincial New Zealand my entire life, I'm a product of it and I understand it. I have 'lived' experience working in it, running a large farming business, and raising a family that's been educated in it. I'm prepared to stand up and fight for all of the people in the Wairarapa electorate to ensure positive outcomes for all.

I am from a farming background with professional experience in export market growth. My goal is to use this background and skill set to return New Zealand to National's proven formula of economic management to recover from the economic devastation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, more than ever, we need to deliver a message of hope and ambition to New Zealanders by offering practical, solutions-driven policy and ideas to drive an export-led recovery – as only National can.

Now, more than ever, Selwyn needs strong, competent representatives who can cross the rural-urban boundary, who have the capability to lobby for projects that will rebuild our economy, put people back in jobs, fund our hospitals, build new schools and to help families. As a candidate I am doing what I can across Selwyn to advocate for businesses, communities and families. I am so ambitious for Selwyn and for Canterbury – I truly believe that this region will lead New Zealand's economic recovery.

I was a child in the country in the 1980s when a Labour government was elected and brought in changes that had a dramatic impact on the farming community. My parents could not get work anymore, and our family had no food on the table. I remember going down to the river to pick blackberries because we couldn't afford food. The Reserve Bank says we are facing our biggest economic downturn in 160 years. We need to get the policy settings right, and do so quickly, so kids don't go hungry.

I did not get UE, and spent years in the school of hard knocks, working on farms, orchards, forestry, fishing boats, building sites, retail stores, hospitality, skifields, rafting companies & sports stores amongst others. I have helped build small business here and overseas. The challenge of dealing with endless regulations while trying to run a business led me to studying law as an adult student. I obtained an honours degree in law. I have also been a volunteer firefighter and Army Reservist.

I'm standing because I want to make it easier for people to get ahead. I'm focused on growing our local economy, jobs for our children, and security for our seniors. This government has created a mountain of debt. The National team and I bring the skills, experience and vision needed to get our economy and communities back on track. I will fight for you and your family, so please support me by voting Tania Tapsell to be your new East Coast MP.

My family and I live in and have a strong connection to the East Coast. I've served as a local government councillor for seven years so I know how politics work and I know how to get things done. I have worked in tourism, BNZ, and at Deloitte as a consultant supporting businesses to invest and grow. I have a Bachelor in Management Studies and am currently working on my Masters of Management. You can be confident that I understand and support our businesses. I will deliver for our community.

Auckland Central needs a National Party MP just like we need a National government. We have a plan for the economy and we have a strong team under Judith Collins. Our country and our electorate are facing big economic challenges. I'm also concerned with social issues in our communities, including high rates of domestic and family violence and access to world-class healthcare. We've had a fantastic MP in Nikki Kaye for the past 12 years and I'll be working hard to build on her legacy.

I am a young, socially liberal woman who believes in the values of equal opportunity, personal freedom and reward for hard work. Auckland Central is my home. I work, live and play here with my fiancé, Chris. The most important job of a MP is to be a strong listener, to fight hard and advocate for their constituents. This government does not have the solutions, only we have a plan for jobs and will deliver transformational infrastructure for Auckland.
