New Plymouth District Council elections 2025: Vote EJ Barrett
Hi! I’m EJ, and I’m here to protect what matters most:
Libraries. Homes. Communities.
With libraries under threat and some candidates pushing cuts, I’m standing up for public spaces and community resources.
I’ll push our council to unlock more affordable housing, by reducing consent fees for community housing providers and backyard subdivisions. Building more homes where services already exist reduces costs, reduces pressure on rates, and puts money back in the hands of the people.
