Claire JOHNSTONE
Standing for:
Porirua-Tawa General Constituency
Affiliation:
Independent
Principal place of residence:
My principal place of residence is in the Porirua-Tawa General Constituency area.
I’m standing for the Greater Wellington Regional Council because I care deeply about our region’s future. The Council affects everyday life—through water management, environmental protection, public transport and emergency preparedness—yet its work is often overlooked.
As a proud Porirua resident, I’m committed to safeguarding our natural taonga, especially the Pāuatahanui Inlet and our waterways.
I bring senior leadership experience in policing, transport, economic development, policy and governance.
My focus is on reliable, affordable public transport, restored streams and harbours, responsible urban development, investment decisions that make sense, and rates that deliver real value. I offer sound judgement, independent thinking and a strong connection to our community.
This election is about leadership that listens, acts and delivers.
Manaaki whenua, manaaki tāngata, haere whakamua—care for the land, care for the people, go forward.
