Standing For: Wairoa District Council
Māori Ward

Voter Guide Profile: Tēnā tatou katoa,

Ko Benita Cairns, nō uri ō Mahia mai tawhiti, Nā Nuhaka, Whakakī nui ā rua, me te Waikaukau anō hoki.

The commitment to be a champion for Wairoa is still what drives Benita to continue to serve the people of Wairoa.

Benita has a passion for kaupapa and initiatives that transform and advance lives for the better and supports the next generations to thrive.

Te Wairoa has been knocked around in recent years and has required strength,
perseverance and unity across all spectrums of the community to get us through.
This whakatauki describes the commitment and dedication that Benita Cairns will bring to the role as a Māori Ward Councillor:

“Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu kōe, me he maunga teitei”

“Seek that you value most dearly, if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain”
