You say: What are the most important issues in your electorate?

Andrew Singleton

Restaurant owner, Karori: ‘‘Because of the quakes it has to probably be the infrastructure, we’ve got to really get that right, and to fix our buses.’’

Melissa Davidson

Retail assistant, Brooklyn: ‘‘The buses are not super great, so public transport is a big one. It’s really expensive and the routes are not consistent.’’

Douglas Demchy

Civil servant, Wilton: ‘‘Wellington Central needs to have more businesses encouraged to move in, that’s up to the candidates.’’ Office worker, Karori: ‘‘We need a better way to the airport, and I think the airport extension is important because it’s Wellington’s economic future.’’ It has been a privilege to serve the Wellington Central electorate as the MP for the last nine years, and I would be honoured to continue as your advocate. Our city is a vibrant, innovative and beautiful place. We need to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy it. This means building affordable homes, and prioritising funding for health and education ahead of tax cuts.

Wellington is the city I love and wish to serve. I was raised here, graduated from Victoria University and we are raising our four children here. I bring public and private sector leadership experience, having been a senior manager at Fonterra and a senior adviser to former prime minister John Key. As your MP, I will listen to your concerns, advocate for our needs and ensure we get the investment we deserve.

MichaelWarren, ACT Party: Consultant

This election, we are asking for your party vote, not your electorate vote. ACT is the only party that is proposing to take less money off you – not more. We are the only party with real solutions to real issues, including the housing crisis and the rising cost of superannuation. If you want a government that values personal responsibility and respects individual rights, then the only option is to party vote ACT.
