I've been asked if I'm excited to have the biggest-ever majority in the Whanganui seat, and I am, but I also feel the weight of the responsibility that comes with it. That is to advocate for everyone in my electorate, to help them achieve their potential so as, hopefully, they get a better ending to their story than my dad got to his. I know that to work here, you've got to be prepared to do some long hours. My grandpa, Frank Lewis, worked here as a security guard. I have some of his notes from that time. His final entry, in June 1984, after dealing with a midnight prank call, starts "Just my luck to start my retirement.", and ends "Third floor cleared. Complete search of the area. Nothing unusual was found. I can relax again. Police departed the complex at 10 past midnight."
