I’m an urban planner who knows how councils work—and how to make them work for you. I’m also a boatie, lawn bowler, and local footy fan, which is why I’m stoked to call the East home.
But we’re facing real pressures in our ward: aging pipes, traffic headaches, and rising living costs. We’re also on the climate frontline, with flooding, erosion, and extreme weather hitting us hard. We can’t sit on our hands and hope these issues go away— we need to be prepared to act.
Kia ora, I’m Sam. I’m running to be your Councillor for Motukairangi/Eastern Ward on Wellington City Council.
As an urban planner, I've worked with communities to tackle these big issues. And as your Councillor, I'll:
Back community-led plans for climate resilience and local infrastructure
Champion convenient, reliable, and affordable transport options for everyone
Drive action to deliver healthier, more affordable homes for our ward
I'm a renter, a cancer survivor, and I live with a disability. Tough experiences have shaped me—and my commitment to a city that's affordable, accessible, and resilient.
Council needs ambitious, practical voices. I'll listen, act, and deliver for the East.
