Having served as the MP for Ikaroa Rawhiti since 1999, I have witnessed real and positive change take place within our East Coast Maori communities.

Over the years, Ikaroa Rawhiti voters have seen more Maori in mahi, are enjoying quality education, receiving affordable healthcare - and of course tuning into iwi radio stations and not one but two channels on our own Maori Television network.

We have achieved so much, but there is still more to do. I's committed to tackling the hard issues facing whanau like domestic violence and will work hard to ensure Ikaroa Rawhiti residents have a voice in the decision making process of our country.

I believe that Maori in the Ikaroa Rawhiti electorate hold lofty aspirations for their communities - and so they should. I'm at work with everyone, up and down the electorate helping to make those aspirations into realities.
