Kia ora, I’m Laurie Foon.
I’m asking for your #1 vote in Paekawakawa Southern Ward. I want to continue my mahi for you on Council.
I’m an experienced councillor, proud to have served as Wellington’s Deputy Mayor. My solid track record of getting things done includes: safer, more people-friendly streets in Paekawakawa; transforming our waste strategy to reduce reliance on landfills; prioritising water investment; backing rule changes for more housing; and helping launch a disaster resilience fund.
I believe in the power of community to build a thriving, creative, and sustainable city.
Together, let’s keep putting people first with inner-city regeneration projects and transport options; growing our economy through tech and innovation; and strengthening our community and environmental programs for current and future generations.
I’m a team player with proven ability to turn a vision into action.
With your support and #1 vote, we can keep making good things happen.

Winning is the first step. The next is keeping up the hype. With local elections done and dusted, a number of baby-faced representatives will have their chance to carve out a youth voice in a slowly de-ageing arena.
Barring a major upset, polling suggests Andrew Little will win the capital’s mayoral chains with relative ease. But the type of council he will lead is still up in the air. Andrew Little must be feeling pretty good right now. A recent Q+A Verian poll gave him a commanding lead in the race to be Wellington’s next mayor, with 58% of first-choice votes, way ahead of second-placed candidate Ray Chung on 16%.
