Kia Ora! I'm Kai Zeng, a proud Aucklander and Master of Public Administration graduate from an Ivy League university. After returning from America, I saw too many friends leaving Aotearoa for better opportunities. That's why I'm standing for the Howick Local Board (Flat Bush): to help create a healthy, happy, thriving community. I combine youthful drive with grounded experience from roles with the Botany & Flatbush Ethnic Association, Southern Cross Academy, and as a committed volunteer. I stand for: Fair local rates; Local employment opportunities; Better youth spaces like Ormiston Town Centre Library and Community Hub; Practical education pathways; Clean waterways and green spaces; Timely completion of the Eastern Busway; More Investment in pools, playgrounds, and sports fields. Let's build a healthy, happy, and prosperous Howick with leaders who spark actionable, measurable, and accountable change. Please vote for 'Healthy and Happy team'!
