Born and raised in Whangarei, I've seen both the challenges our community faces and the opportunities for growth. I'm standing as a young candidate to ensure youth are represented and to advocate for a safer, better supported, and more resilient Whangarei. I've been actively involved in local and central government, community groups, and governance boards. These experiences have given me leadership skills grounded in real local issues. I bring a people first approach to decision making, shaped by lived experience and a deep understanding of our communities' needs. I don't claim to have all the answers, but I'm committed to being your voice at the table and to helping restore trust in our local decision making. It is time for us to come together and build a Whangarei we can all be proud of, a place where we can truly say we #Loveithere. Source: WDC
