Kia ora. I've lived in Kaipātiki since 1998, raised two children who went to local schools. My background includes working in business, teaching adults', charitable work, and serving on boards in health and education. I also hold a Master's in Applied Management and have a strong track record of advocacy, both locally and nationally. I've seen Kaipātiki change over the years, and I've noticed the current board hasn't kept up. I want to help make things better. I'm asking for your vote. If elected, I'll push for reliable public transport, support smart plans to ease traffic, and stand against wasteful spending. I'll back efforts to improve safety, strengthen community ties, and celebrate our diversity. Kaipātiki is growing, and the challenges are complex. Now more than ever, we need strong, independent voices on our local board. I'm ready to be one of them. Vote for Ngozi. Vote for change. Email: Ngozi.nz2025@gmail.com
