Why I'm standing

I'm a two-term Labour MP and I want to continue to serve. I'm standing in Whangārei, returning to my Northland roots. I believe in the value of community service to ensure our people and environment are thriving. I'll work hard to continue the progress Whangārei has made under Labour! I'll focus on advocating for Whangārei while holding true to my values of equity for all.

About me

I've served as a MP for two terms. I understand how to get things done and the role of MP. I've got good collaborative relationships across parliament and understand the workload. I grew up in Northland – I know Whangārei needs strong economic, environmental, cultural and community focused leadership. I bring that – having worked continuously in the public and NGO sectors. I've volunteered and still run my own (building) business with my husband.

My priorities
  1. Support families with the cost of living: lower inflation, lift wages, focused financial help.
  2. Invest in infrastructure; more houses, new roads, hospital, rail spur and classrooms for Whangārei.
  3. Support us to thrive: a safe, healthy community and environment, a welfare buffer, and warm dry homes.
