Raumati resident Asher Wilson-Goldman has announced his candidacy for the Kāpiti Coast constituency of Greater Wellington Regional Council.
“I want to be Kāpiti’s voice in Greater Wellington because I know that our communities’ needs aren’t being met by the Council, and we should be able to expect better,” says Asher Wilson-Goldman.
“Wellington isn’t just the place where many of us work, it’s also a region with a significant impact on all of our lives.
“This election, I’m focused on three core areas: public transport, our environment, and working with other parts of the region on growth, tourism and regional economic development.”
Mr Wilson-Goldman has worked in a variety of high-profile roles in central Government, with a focus on helping communities gain support from local and central government to take control of their futures.
He has also volunteered with a range of local and national organisations, including Self-Isolation Support Kāpiti, Low Carbon Kāpiti, the Community Comms Collective and the Kāpiti Coast Chamber of Commerce.
Mr Wilson-Goldman says, if elected, he is committed to being the most accessible Regional Councillor our communities have ever had.
“I will always make myself available to come and speak with groups or individuals, I will regularly be at our weekend markets and events, and I will talk with key advocacy groups across our district to ensure I am informed and can represent Kāpiti’s needs in Wellington.”
