Sam Uffindell
National Party
| MP for Tauranga
Why I'm standing
I want to make Tauranga the best city to work, live and enjoy in New Zealand. Tauranga has enormous potential. We also need to get the cost of living, crime and congestion in Tauranga under control. I will work hard to represent Tauranga and get us the crucial investment we deserve.
About me
I have a vision for Tauranga and New Zealand as a thriving, first-world democracy. My experiences are shaped by twelve years spent living in Sydney and Singapore and there are so many things we can do better here in New Zealand. I want us to fix our economy to reduce the cost of living, restore law and order and improve our hospitals and schools.
My priorities
- Rebuild the economy to reduce the cost of living for people in Tauranga.
- Restore law and order so our streets and community are safer.
- Ensure Tauranga has the transport infrastructure to function efficiently and grow sustainably.
