Candidate Statement – Rangi Halbert

Candidate for Kāpiti Coast Maori Ward

Rangi Halbert – Candidate for Maori ward

“I am committed to enhance Māori and their wellbeing as a people.

“I will work to ensure that the principles of both Māori and KCDC are upheld so that our communities are properly informed and all voices heard. Together, we can be good Kaitiaki or guardians for our water ways.

“We will work together with a different rates arrears plan to keep families in their homes.

“We can invest smarter in childcare, schooling and youth programs for our children and bridge the gap for Kaumatua and all our senior citizens where we all can connect.

“Council needs to listen, not just to our needs but to our knowledge. Our Marae are not just for Māori but for all who reside in our community.

“There is a place for Freedom and integrity alongside unity, and I want to bring them together in a Kāpiti that is good for us all.”

All candidates are offered the opportunity to submit a profile and photo for the position they are standing for.
