Lauren Craig (she/they) Wairarapa

I am a proud transgender woman with a background in law, activism, and economic policy. I’ve taken the Government to court, I was the field manager for Tory Whanau’s campaign for mayor, and I recently led a campaign to reverse the ban on puberty blockers for trans and takatāpui youth. I’ve spent the last three years working in economic policy and as a union delegate for the Public Service Association. As Co-convenor of the Young Greens I supported our candidates to succeed in the local body elections and this year I’m excited to be standing myself to represent my communities and make this a one-term government.
