Pakuranga is one of the best places to raise a family in New Zealand. I am proud to live here with my wife Rebecca and our three children, Anna, Grace, and Thomas, and to represent this community as the local Member of Parliament since 2017.
Since the 2023 general election, I have served as a Cabinet Minister in the National-led Coalition Government with responsibility in four portfolios: Health, State Owned Enterprises and Auckland.
As a Minister, and among other tasks, I have led work to:
Locally in Pakuranga, I have supported community efforts to retain a local Police presence with the new Howick Police Station, pushed back against proposals by Auckland Transport to install speed bumps on our major arterial roads, and advocated for completion of the Eastern Busway and Reeves Road Flyover. I will not forget who put me in Parliament; representing the people of Pakuranga will always be a priority for me, and I will continue to work hard on their behalf on the issues they care about.
Prior to entering politics, I completed Law and Commerce Degrees at the University of Auckland and worked in Commercial Finance at the Bank of New Zealand, as well as serving as an elected Local Board member at Auckland Council.
