Proud to be part of this wave of Māori candidates pushing to change this government.

We’ve got an incredible line-up of people putting themselves forward as Labour candidates this year.

As we gather here in Wellington to gear up for our campaign, I’m proud to see so many Māori standing as candidates in both Māori and General electorates- and this isn’t quite our full team either! Representation matters. Values matter.

Great to meet in person Sophie! Looking forward to working together.

Great to meet Te Pūoho Kātene mō Te Tai Hauāuru. 💪🏽

He’s just been confirmed as the Labour candidate for Te Tai Hauāuru, the Māori electorate in which Kapiti sits. Te Puoho is of Ngāti Toa and Ngāti Whaatua descent, and a Fulbright scholar from Stanford's Graduate School of Business! 💯🔥

Looking forward to campaigning together!

I was once told, if your hui doesn't have a kaumatua and a pēpi, it's a dumb hui.

Some of the lighter side of a special day for our whānau - Willie Jackson had us all in stitches, our ringa wera had all of us well fed, and I got to share it with four generations of my whānau, including my grand nephew Tūmoana.

Nōku te whiwhi.
