I’m seeking re-election because West Auckland deserves leadership that stays true to its people. I’ve stood alongside Ken Turner, Sunil Kushal, and Westwards to champion practical, common-sense decisions that reflect our community, not impose on it. Our tracks, parks, and public spaces must remain open and accessible to all, free from exclusivity. I’ve built businesses, worked with local groups, and tackled real-world challenges, cutting through bureaucracy to deliver results. My priorities remain clear: supporting small businesses and tradespeople, ensuring transport serves everyone, and promoting economic development that helps, not hinders. I believe in transparency, accountability, and a council that answers to residents, not party lines. West Auckland deserves better, more connected, confident, and thriving. Let’s keep building progress together. Re-elect Linda P. Find out more: www.lindap.nz
