185 years ago, Te Āti Awa rangatira signed Te Tiriti here in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, expecting their rangatiratanga would be upheld. This includes a voice in local government. Since then, only ONE iwi member has ever sat on Council. That’s not partnership. #under-representation. #KEEPMāoriWards

Under-representation is one reason for Māori wards
Despite signing Te Tiriti for the rohe known as Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Only one uri of the rangatira of Te Āti Awa has ever made it to Council’s top table
185 years after my tūpuna signed. And 155 years of local govt. I’m standing to be the second

I will use the endorsement to make Te Whanganui-a-Tara a fairer and better place for all Māori.
It took a lot of work to get this endorsement, but I stuck at it. And stuck at it.
That’s the work ethic I’ll bring to Te Whanganui-a-Tara Māori Ward. That’s the work ethic voters deserve.

When mana whenua endorse their own, that’s saying we don’t want others speaking for us. That’s saying ‘we want our own voice at the table’.

Māori wards
“Can’t Māori just get elected in general wards?”
While some Māori do, they are the exception.
Māori wards remove structural barriers, not merit.
They create equity, not privilege.

Māori Wards honour Te Tiriti. They ensure Māori voices are at the council table helping to make better decisions. That makes local democracy fairer, more representative and better for everyone.

It mattered to me to go to mana whenua when putting my hand up for Council. Anyone can stand, but acknowledging iwi is more than courtesy. It’s the tika thing to do.
