My electorate encompasses the great Whanganui awa. It spans from the Whangaehu River to Monmouth Road north of Stratford. It includes Whanganui, Stratford, Kaponga, Manaia, Eltham, Hāwera, Pātea, Waverley, Waitōtara, Fordell, the outskirts of Ōpunake, and the settlements up the river. It is a true privilege to represent Whanganui, New Zealand's most beautiful city for two years running, and Taranaki, which was named the second-best region in the world to visit in 2017.
