Jo Luxton
Labour Party
| MP for Rangitata
Why I'm standing
I want Rangitata to be the best place to live, work, go to school and raise a family. It's been a privilege to have been a strong local voice in parliament, I've worked hard to represent the interests of everyone, including farmers, business owners, families and organisations. I want to build on the progress we've made and continue to advocate for you, for our community and for our potential.
About me
I'm a mother, grandmother, small business owner, former ECE teacher. I've lived in Rangitata for 27 years. I know the issues we face and the opportunities available. I love this region and our people and am proud to have been a strong local voice in Parliament for the last six years.
My priorities
- Ensure continued investment that supports resiliency as we face more climate related weather events.
- Support families with the cost of living through targeted support like free ECE for two year olds
- Continue to advocate for affordable and social housing so people can have security of a place to live.
