Upper Harbour electorate

Upper Harbour covers the upper reaches of the Waitematā Harbour on both sides of the Upper Harbour Bridge, including Glenfield, Hobsonville, West Harbour and Massey. The seat is currently held by Labour's Vanushi Walters, who won comfortably with a margin of 2,392. In 2020, Labour won the greatest share of party votes in Upper Harbour – 48% to National's 31%. Population growth in Auckland required the Waitakere electorate to be split into Upper Harbour and Kelston ahead of the 2014 election. Upper Harbour was held by former National deputy leader Paula Bennett until it was won by Labour in 2020.

Why I'm standing

New Zealand is going in the wrong direction under Labour. The government has got its values wrong with excessive borrowing, taxing and spending, a lack of consequences for criminals and dividing New Zealander by race. I'm standing with ACT because it's the only party offering New Zealand real change in these areas. ACT will get government spending under control, get tougher and smarter on crime and unite Kiwis behind their common humanity.
