Thank you to all of those who voted to ensure we were the green foam on that red wave, especially those who voted Green just to get me in. I am particularly grateful that I was able to tell my father-in-law, Tuisavelalo Aiono, that his vote got me elected, before he passed away in December last year. He was a solid Labour voter for 70 years, and for the first time, he split his vote. When the Electoral Commission came to his home, he told them he wanted to vote for the "Kerekere Green Party". No rush, we can talk about the name change later!
