Hi John,



Voting starts in two weeks, and while we have great momentum behind us, I'm not taking my foot off the pedal; I'm working hard to win every vote for National and taking nothing for granted locally.



So in this update I want to cover three things:



- Street corner meetings this weekend

- The key issue this year

- Christopher Luxon visit



Come and see me this weekend!







Please come and join me at one of these seven meetings if you can. The more we have the more passers-by it draws in. 



The biggest issue this year



We are all feeling the brunt of the dire economic conditions that Labour have created through wasteful spending. Labour’s inability to manage their spending is being reflected in the skyrocketing mortgage repayments and cost-of-living crisis that hardworking Kiwis are enduring all over the country. 



Before the last election Labour promised spending this year would be $116.1bn. Instead, it is $139bn. An extra 13,000 in the public service cost us an extra $1.7bn per year, spending on consultants is up to a massive $1.2bn per year, and debt is blowing out to over $100bn. The average rent is up by $180 per week, mortgages are up by $700 per fortnight, groceries are up 12.5% year on year and if they get back in, Labour will add yet another 12c per litre to your petrol.







National will rebuild the economy and let Kiwis keep more of what they earn, $250 a pay for the average family with a couple of young kids. We’ll rein in Labour’s addiction to expensive contractors and consultants and run the ruler over Wellington, ensuring taxpayers aren’t treated like a fiscal punching bag for Labour to abuse. This is critical to getting inflation under control and bringing down interest rates, mortgages and rents.



This year we need a National Government to rebuild our economy and to achieve that, we need every single person to party vote National.



Christopher Luxon in town







It was great to welcome our next Prime Minister to town on Monday. Many of you got to meet him or even wave signs with him on Kāpiti Road. This was his fifth visit to our electorate since becoming leader, his fourth in the last year. We are fully committed to turning Ōtaki blue this year, but we need your help.



I hope to see many of you this weekend at street corner meetings, and if you'd like to join our sign-waving team, we'd love some more volunteers. Please join us!
