Standing For: Napier City Council
Te Whanga Māori Ward

Voter Guide Profile: Your vote has mana. Your voice creates change.

This Māori Ward seat is more than representation, it’s a strategic tool to drive real, local solutions grounded in our values and lived realities.

Your voice, your experiences, your whakaaro, those are the solutions. I bring the skills and kaupapa to uplift them, to turn them into action, and to embed them where decisions are made.

We are a collective, and with that comes a shared responsibility to deliver better outcomes, not just for today, but for generations to come.

While councils must deliver core services and infrastructure, we must also be bold. There are untapped opportunities and partnerships, across iwi, hapū, community enterprise, and impact spaces, that can be activated to support those who need it most.

This is our chance to move from existing to exercising our rangatiratanga, with courage, clarity, and a focus on outcomes that uplift us all.
