One Party

I have a passion for the nation of New Zealand that calls me to stand up and make a difference. I stand for truth, justice, Freedom and righteousness and I believe I have the qualities and drive to bring these values to my decision making.

I have lived in the Franklin district most of my life,. I come from a farming family, I also have strong business experience, at a corporate level as well as running my own business. I stand for family and values that build strong community. My Christian faith is very important to me and guides my decision making process. I have also pioneered and pastored churches in the Auckland and Waikato regions over many years.

Why I'm standing – I'm a proud New Zealander and I'm standing as a candidate for the One Party in the Ōhāriu electorate. I am putting my hand up to stand for righteousness, justice, truth and freedom for all New Zealanders. I will be key in re-aligning New Zealand's governmental principles back to those originally established by our Christian founding fathers.

My wife and I have been happily married for 41 years. With two married daughters and four amazing grandchildren. I have held various international business management positions. These have been in the private and public sectors. I've served on the leadership of a Christian ministry for seven years and I've ministered locally and overseas. I am passionate about the Lord Jesus Christ and believe I have the experience, skills and tenacity to make a positive difference to benefit all New Zealanders.

As a Christian I believe the window of opportunity for change has opened and I would like to meet with people including iwi leaders to look for solutions to address the current issues that we face at this point in time in our history. I am not able to do this on my own I want to be solution-focussed and I dont have all the answers. If we can do this together for Te Tai Tokerau let's give it our very best. My vision is to see the glory of God bless Ngapuhi-nui-tonu, its people, and heal their land.

I have worked in Northland for many years in health, with the NDHB and a short time with Ngati Hine before studying at Te Wananga o Raukawa. I returned to my Iwi and managed our land claims for 10 years assisting them through two inquiry districts. I have worked for Te Runanga o Whaingaroa, volunteered with Nga Whetu o Te Wa Kaikohe and taken on a few independent contracts before retiring. I am currently active in delivering weekly food parcels to our local community and enjoy church life.

The One party is a timely solution for anyone who feels conflicted by some of the laws that have been passed. This party is a strong Christian voice that champions Godly values and principles as a social reality as well as a political possibility. I am standing in the Invercargill electorate for One party because I have had a sense of conviction to be part of the change process. Gone are the days to vote left or right because of tradition. This election is about exercising common sense.

I see the political platform as a natural progression of my experiences as an educational facilitator, conference presenter, public speaker and advocate. Some of the positions I have held are Tāmaki (Principal) of a Kura Kaupapa, cluster manager RTLB and national coordinator for NZRTLB Association. Currently I represent at regional and national levels of the teachers union PPTA. I enjoy the challenge of making something happen from sometimes nothing.

Aotearoa is a blessed nation that I believe needs to reinstate God the Father, Jesus Messiah, and the Holy Spirit over the head of Aotearoa. We have abandoned God the Father, Jesus Messiah and the Holy Spirit as a nation and the only way for this nation to climb out of the hole that we are currently in is through God the Father, Jesus Messiah and the Holy Spirit.

Tokoroa is my home town, born and bred. I have had a number of professions the over the years, scaffolder, scaffolding tutor, I have owned an operated a scaffolding business and at this present time I am the senior pastor of Activate Church Tokoroa. I have been the senior pastor for over seven years.

I want to provide a voice for others that feel that they do not have a voice, or are too young to have a voice of their own. I was saddened by the abortion laws that gave no voice to the unborn babies. As a parent myself, I know the joy that children bring to our lives. Those that have had their voice hidden for so long, because of fear or other reasons, deserve to be heard just as much as others.

I have spent most of my life in the Bay of Plenty electorate. I have a strong work history working within government departments as well as working in property management and being self-employed. I have several qualifications in business, accounting, finance, family support and mentoring and am in the process of completing a Masters Degree.

I am blest to be alive and living in this beautiful Land New Zealand, I have decided to stand for this upcoming election to represent the people in New Zealand, and the Wigram electorate to do my very best in delivering services that are vital to the growth of this electorate and for New Zealand as a nation.

I am currently working in Aidanfield, since 2016 and have grown to like the area, and see that there are unfinished business that needs addressing for this electorate, I stand to represent everyday Kiwi and our everyday struggles. As a wife and mother of two adult children I understand the struggles of working class family. I believe I have empathy to listen and understand the people in my electorate , I will do my best to deliver the best service to my electorate.

Greetings to all – I am humbled to be standing this 2020 election for the candidacy role for Mount Roskill. As a servant to the people of this community I will only support policies that will strengthen the holistic well being of all New Zealanders from all backgrounds and ethnic groups. I will uphold all Godly values to help create a positive pathway that will give all generations to come, a hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) Aotearoa New Zealand we are one.

I'm married and have 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren. I grew up in an underdeveloped rural community called Taheke in the Hokianga so jobs were very hard to come by. Money was very scarce in our home so at the age of 14 I got my first job while attending Whangarei Girls High School. I have worked in a number of health and social service roles over the past 30 years which has given me an insight into the needs and the ongoing issues that people from all walks of life face in our nation.

I believe New Zealand is the greatest and safest nation in the world to live. I would often comment on how good it is living in a country that is at peace with our neighbours the Aussies and all our Pacific Island friends and family. NZ can still boast of its clean green image. fresh clean water on tap, excellent lamb, beef, pork, and wild game. I believe NZ is now a diverse and multicultural nation and it still has a lot to offer that is why I am standing to keep our image for our future generations.

I was born in the Waikato my tribe Ngati Haua are the original people of the land What. I bring to the table is an understanding how indigenous peoples values and customs are similar to Māori I also bring a Māori perspective of the treaty. I have leadership skills and customer service skills. l especially love helping people to get the right answer to their question or to the right place. I am a professional in the workplace and understand the value that unity brings when working as a team.

I am concerned about the direction our current government is taking our country. I wish to be part of a positive alternative for government, which has a focus on the value of family and life from conception until natural death.

I am married to Richard and enjoy sharing his rural Northland life and his children and grandchildren. Semi-retired now, the most significant parts of my working life were scientific research and teaching. Deep down I am a pioneer and explorer who has always loved travel, starting new projects, and taking on new challenges.
