Candidate – Raumati Community Board

“Kāpiti is facing big challenges and opportunities. Now more than ever, we need dynamic, collaborative leadership that connects our diverse communities.
“I’ve proudly called Raumati South home for 10 years, raising my tamariki and getting involved. From the farmers’ market to Kapa Haka fundraisers, teaching Zumba, and hosting international students.
“As Tangata Te Tiriti, I’m committed to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi and building inclusive, future-focused communities. I’m passionate about backing local businesses, the creative engine of our economy.
“Professionally, I’ve worked in communications at GNS Science, the Health Quality & Safety Commission, White Ribbon, and the NZ Film Commission, championing accessibility. I’ve led the Women in Film and Television board and held leadership roles with the International Comedy Festival. I’m a surfer, an artist, and a strong voice for the unheard.
“I bring experience, energy, and heart.
“Vote Zelda Edwards, for a stronger Kāpiti.”
