Hi John,

Today’s a really special anniversary — it’s been two years since election night, when New Zealand voted for a change of direction and asked us to start tackling the long-term problems facing our country.

I hope over these past two years, we’ve shown you that we’re serious about those tough issues — issues like mental health, the state of our rivers and child poverty. The problems in these areas have taken years, if not generations, to develop, and they won’t be solved overnight. But I’ve always believed that the hardest challenges are the ones worth taking on, and over the past two years, we’ve made good progress.

From funding new cancer treatment to building thousands of state houses, from extending paid parental leave to helping young people into training and apprenticeships, from rolling out frontline mental health services to banning offshore speculators buying up residential homes, from starting to clean up our rivers to building more classrooms and schools — we’ve done a lot. If you’re interested in reading about these and more, you can check out a list of everything that we’ve done here.

But there’s more to do, and for that we need time, and to win the election in 2020.

We were only able to form a government in 2017 because of supporters like you, and to be re-elected we need your support again.

Today, can you chip in to support our 2020 campaign? Every single contribution, no matter what size, could make all the difference. It will help pay for crucial campaign spend, like the printing of billboards, placement of online adverts and hiring expert field staff, who will help turn out the vote.

I’m really proud of all that we’ve achieved since election night, and I hope you are too. With your help, we can continue to take on the biggest challenges, and work together to create the New Zealand we all want. If you’d like to be part of this progress, and are able to, please chip in here.

Finally, I’d like to thank you for all that you’ve done over the past two years. Whether you’ve given money, volunteered your time to help out, or simply sent in a kind note, your support has meant a lot.

Thank you - for everything.

 Jacinda
