Alexandra Davids has been selected as National’s Christchurch East candidate for the 2026 general election.
Ms Davids is an experienced local government politician and community advocate, serving three terms as a community board member in Christchurch including as the chair of the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board.
“I am proud to be selected to campaign for a National Party that is fixing the basics and building the future,” Ms Davids says.
“The National-led Government has reigned in wasteful spending, saving taxpayers $43 billion to date which has brought down inflation and interest rates saving Kiwis as much as $10,000 on their mortgage. Those savings will be helping Cantabrians in the wake of higher fuel prices due to the war in Iran.
“Timely, temporary and targeted support is ensuring those most in need receive relief while maintaining fiscal responsibility. 143,000 working families are getting a $50 per week boost until fuel prices return to normal and care and support workers are receiving a 30 per cent increase to their mileage costs. As a result, those most in need are receiving support without creating long-lasting consequences that are difficult to unwind, just like we saw in the aftermath of Covid.
“Christchurch East deserves a representative that will deliver for them, which is why I will be working hard to earn the privilege of being the next Christchurch East MP and to re-elect a National Government.”
