Green Party MP for Auckland Central
Representing Auckland Central
Kia ora, I’m Chlöe Swarbrick and I’m privileged to be your Member of Parliament for Auckland Central. It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve my home and community of Auckland Central during some of our toughest times these past three years.
I’m proud to have fought and won a number of battles alongside our communities, from Ponsonby and the Bays through Newton, Eden Terrace, down Grafton and the City Centre out across the Hauraki Gulf to the majestic Waiheke and even further out on Aotea Great Barrier Island.
There are still too many people falling through the cracks, the cost of living is too high, we need better homes for everyone, and we need to go further and faster to combat climate change.
