My family has called Rotorua home for 33 years. John and I brought our children up here and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

I've been a midwife, a manager at Rotorua Hospital, a district councillor, and the MP for Rotorua for the last nine years.It has been a privilege to serve Rotorua and I am proud of the gains we have achieved.It has taken hard work and tenacity, but Rotorua can now boast a secure hospital, more pre-schools and education facilities, lower teacher-pupil ratios, improved community safety, long-term funding to clean up our lakes, low unemployment, improved services for young people, Treaty settlements, arts, tourism, environment - all flourishing, all thriving.

It is community that makes Rotorua a great place to live. I work hard to ensure the best outcomes for all of us. My local knowledge and networks keep me informed, and I enjoy fruitful partnerships with government departments, council, voluntary and community organisations and tangata whenua. I believe in making things happen.
