Candidate statement
I’m Cameron Jenkins - born and raised in Palmerston North, and fiercely proud to call it home. I’m standing because this city needs bold, progressive leadership that doesn’t just sit in the room - it shakes the table.
For over a decade, I’ve fought for real people tenants, workers, the rainbow community and I’ve never backed down from a fight that matters. As Coordinator of the Manawatu Tenants’ Union, I know what it takes to fix broken systems and hold power to account.
I believe in action over excuses, people over politics, and a council that serves everyone not just the well-connected few.
Palmerston North deserves better and I bring the Charisma, Nerve, Uniqueness and Talent to make it happen.
If you're ready for a voice that cuts through the noise and pushes Council to act, I’m ready to fight for you.
Because what matters is people, people, people.
