Jan O'Connor

A three term Devonport Takapuna Local Board member, Councillor and Community Board Member for the former North Shore City, I have lived here for most of my life.

I supported keeping the Takapuna Holiday Park and helped gather 8,500 signatures opposing the sale of the Anzac Street carpark. An urgent, visionary approach is needed for the carpark. I do not support selling the Takapuna Library and rebuilding it there.

Ruth Jackson

I was born and raised in Takapuna, and am a proud Shore resident. My local roots run deep: generations of our family occupied the same Devonport house for 117 years. I'll stand strong for the community I love - bringing fresh energy to building the best possible legacy for future generations. I valiantly fought the sale of public land in Takapuna, and will bring the same dedication to all aspects of making the Shore a great place to work, live, and play.
