Candidate statement

Tini whetu ki te rangi, ko Rangitāne ki te whenua

Tātou te whakatinana

Tātou te whakakanohi

Tātou okooko ai i ngā mana o iwi

Mō ngā mokopuna

mō ngā aitanga te take

Tihei tū, tihei mauri ora

It has been a privilege to serve the people of Palmerston North as a councillor and Deputy Mayor.

I am proud of what we’ve achieved together. But there’s still important work ahead - strengthening community wellbeing, upgrading core infrastructure, and ensuring local voices are truly heard.

I’m re-standing to keep championing equity, inclusion, and a stronger future for all.

I believe Māori wards are about fairness, partnership, and better decision making.

Let’s Go — fill the Waka with votes! We’re paddling this change together!

Mā te Māori, a kaupapa Māori e tōtō mai, tōtō mai ki te tēpu nei.

Tuituia tangata whenua. Tuituia tangata Tiriti. Tuituia ki te Kaunihera nei.
