All electorate MPs will say that their electorate is the best in the country. Mine really is. We are blessed with high sunshine hours, a warm climate, and some of the best food producers, like Pic's Peanut Butter. Nelson is an electorate that mixes town and country. Our accountants, business people, manufacturers, and transport drivers support our horticulture and farming industries operating in our neighbouring Tasman district. During my time as MP, I hope to see our two councils working together even more to progress the goals and aspirations of our region of Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka.
