Florence Te Ohaere (she/her) Tāmaki Makaurau

My vision is a future where Māori authority is upheld and protected, kaitiakitanga is restored and honoured, and our whānau are supported to thrive in sustainable, resilient, and empowered communities.

What motivates me is protecting Te Tiriti o Waitangi, restoring our whenua and wai, driving incentives and initiatives for whānau, and creating meaningful pathways for rangatahi leadership.

I believe our education, health, and wellbeing systems are strongest when guided by Māori values and ways of knowing, so I will work tirelessly to remove barriers to iwi led solutions, for Māori to hold and care for our own data, our whenua, our resources, and our whānau.

Te Pati Kākāriki understands Te Tiriti o Waitangi is our foundation, and the challenges we are facing are a result of political choices. Te Pāti Kākāriki has the solutions, and I will be relentless in campaigning to change this government.
