A massive and heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me at the election.

I feel honoured to have been elected as MP for the new electorate of Port Waikato and I’m looking forward to becoming part of its many communities.

This will be my third term as a National Party electorate MP and I’m humbled so many of you chose to support me at this election.

For the past six years I have represented the people of Hunua. The new electorate covers parts of the old Hunua seat such as Awhitu, Waiuku, Clarks Beach, Glenbrook, Pukekohe and Patumahoe as well the new areas of Aka Aka, Otaua, Tuakau, Onewhero, Port Waikato, Pokeno, Mercer, Meremere, Maramarua, Te Kauwhata, Rangiriri across to Waikaretu and as far south as Te Akau.

As I’ve travelled about those areas this year, I’ve been happy to meet many of you. I’ve visited every school across the electorate – bar one – and I’ve called in to meet members of every fire brigade and most local businesses.

Now I look forward to meeting up with as many constituents as possible over the next three years.

After what seems like a very long campaign, I’m also ready to get back to Parliament and start work on my portfolio responsibilities.

Already I’m at work in the electorate, talking with constituents, attending community meetings and going to the last of the school calf club days.

You will see me out and about in your area soon, and I look forward to meeting you and hearing about your concerns.

My electorate office is open to all constituents, regardless of political persuasion, and my staff and I are here to help no matter what the issue is.

If you need guidance, assistance or support with any issue, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

The electorate office is at 7 Wesley Street, Pukekohe. Phone Barbara or Judith on 09 238 5977 during office hours.
