Kevin Zeng
Official Candidate Biography
Why I’m Standing
I’ve lived in Wellington for over 30 years and care deeply for this city. Over 20 years ago, Interlock, a factory in Miramar where I worked for 8 years, relocated due to the business environment. I’ve seen how recent worsening business environment has affected people’s lives. I’m standing to help build a supportive environment where businesses can grow and ensure local voices are heard.
About Me
As owner of the Newtown variety shop Rainbow Bridge and publisher of the Wellington Chinese community newspaper Home Voice for over 20 years, I’ve heard directly from locals about their concerns and hopes, giving me a deep understanding of what our community needs.
As a leader of Chinese community groups, I’m passionate about building relationships and supporting diversity. I bring experience, and strong leadership.
Priorities: Police office presence in community centres; More public parking around businesses centres
