You may have seen the Electoral Commission is moving your street from the Auckland Central Electorate to the Epsom Electorate.

That means I’ll be campaigning to be your MP next year. But, politicians shouldn’t be seen only at election time. That’s why I’ll be starting my signature Street Corner Meetings in Newton and Grafton on Sunday, October 19th.

Street Corner meetings have become popular in the Epsom Electorate since I started them 6 years ago. They're a good way for me to report back, answer questions, and hear your concerns and views. I’ve found people welcome politics off the screen and in real life.

The format is simple. For a few minutes I explain how I'm seeking to represent you, then open up to your questions, comments and ideas. Each meeting takes about 20 minutes before I move to a new corner.

The times and locations are:
