Why I'm standing
I have been an advocate for communities for over 20 years. Being an MP is a progression of my advocacy. I am running because I want to advocate strongly for those who cannot advocate for themselves. We are in a crisis of inequality and of climate and I have to do all that I can to bring about change in my lifetime.
About me
I am values-led and having inherent values which define my actions is imperative to leading what is needed for policy changes that enhance the well-being of communities in Northland and across Aotearoa. In addition I bring my qualifications in Arts and Law, I bring my significant policy experience and most importantly, my passion for communities.
My priorities
- Ensure clean water to drink, to gather kai and for recreation. Clean water is vital for Northland and Aotearoa.
- Ban mining on conservation estate to avoid corporate exploitation of our precious taonga.
- Work towards a fairer tax system which will ensure everyone contributes fairly especially the wealthy.
