Emma Ryburn-Phengsavath

Kia ora, I have resided in Glenfield for 14 years. I have a Bachelor of Health Science I founded Mothers Milk NZ, to support families with donor breast milk. Over the past 17 years, I have served on key maternity committees such as; the Auckland Regional Committee for NZ College of Midwives and Birthcare’s Clinical Advisory Committee, ensuring advocacy and accountability for consumers. I currently sit on the Aotearoa NZ Human Milk Bank Steering group. I am empathetic, attentive and visionary.

I believe in empowering community by:

• Addressing unsustainable living costs.
• Supporting mental health respite care.
• Temporarily change the T3 lane to T2 for Onewa Road, and build a flyover from Stafford Road.
• Strengthening our civil defence strategy.
• Advocating for ratepayers to receive value for money.
• Promoting proper consultation on road changes.
• Prioritising budgets for core services: roads, rubbish, water, and parks.
• Ensuring tangible improvements over excessive consultation fees.
• Committing to transport planning that respects freedom of movement and supports local businesses.
• Standing for transparency in water management and flood planning.
• Opposing Smart City initiatives that risk privacy and freedom through excessive surveillance.

It's in my nature to question, scrutinise, and spotlight the 'elephant in the room.' I'll be your voice at the table.

Please sign my Auckland Transport petition to show them that the community demands a change. https://chng.it/gBFVJfPbRJhttps://chng.it/gBFVJfPbRJ
