Ray Chung

Elected to council in 2022, I’ve spoken with thousands of residents and attended dozens of residential and cultural meetings across the city. Genuine personal engagement and listening to people are how I achieved a successful international career in telecommunications, responsible for multi-million-dollar budgets and managing teams of hard-working people.

Residents have no confidence in the council and want change. The bureaucracy has strayed from core activities, aided by a largely compliant group of councillors.

Many ratepayers feel they’re treated as cash-cows. Rates are beyond affordable for many.

Removal of car parks destroys the retail and hospitality sectors.

I stand with the Independent Together group. Real change requires a majority of committed like-minded people around the council table.

We’ll listen to ratepayers, deliver on zero rate increases by focusing on core priorities and services that only council delivers, and by stopping unnecessary projects.

We will make Wellington affordable for everyone. www.voteforit.nz

The names of Wellington mayoral hopeful Ray Chung and other members of the “Independent Together” ticket were clearly visible during a session focused on media skills. Others now running as candidates are identifiable at various points." - The quiet campaign: Inside the freedom movement’s bid for council influence, The Press
