Ray Chung

I’m a Wellingtonian, who is committed to the economic and cultural future of our city. Genuine personal engagement, listening to people, and financial management that benefits ratepayers are what I bring to council and will bring as Mayor. I’ve had a proven international sales career in telecommunications, responsible for multi-million-dollar budgets and teams. Since elected in 2022, I’ve spoken with thousands of residents across the city. Many have no confidence in the council and want change. The bureaucracy has lost sight of who they work for, and ratepayers feel they’re treated like cash-cows, with rates beyond what many can afford. I’ll focus on reaching zero rate increases by prioritising core infrastructure, asset management, access for all and ensuring the protection of pools, libraries, parks and community facilities. I’ll end wasteful spending and eliminate unnecessary, unaffordable projects. With the right team of people, we can make Wellington affordable for everyone. www.voteforit.nz
