Pualele Westhead

Mt Maunganui

I am a New Zealand born woman with Samoan and English heritage, having raised three children to accept all people as equals.

I'm standing for parliament to protect the environment, mitigate climate change and increase equity in healthcare. Having been a nurse and educator I understand the power of representation, and bringing a voice to all people of Aotearoa.

Throughout my life I have been involved in local Bay of Plenty community groups to support people in need. I believe that the Green party will bring real change to Mount Maunganui and If elected I will advocate for local change in a global environment.
