Anahila Kanongata’aCandidate for Papakura
Meet Anahila Kanongata’a
This election I am asking for two ticks: a tick for Labour and a tick for myself as the Labour MP for Papakura. This will allow me to continue my work and advocacy for a better Papakura.
I am honoured to stand as the Papakura Labour Candidate for 2023.
Representing Papakura, and its communities, local organisations, schools and local businesses for the past 6 years has been a privilege.
I've invested my time in ensuring that our Papakura communities are represented in Parliament and take issues that matter locally and nationally. This includes taking two petitions to Parliament and having a Bill passed to help people living with disabilities. I've invested in encouraging our South Auckland youth towards leadership roles which will help build a brighter future for our local rangatahi.
I'm proud that as a party we have built more affordable homes in Papakura, and continued the free lunches in schools. I’m also proud that we have provided support to ensure needs were met through the pandemic and especially through our most recent Auckland weather events as well.
