kia ora and welcome to my website February 13, 2008 |

I am Gareth Hughes and I am proud to be standing as the Green candidate for Ohariu in 2008.

I am a keen, passionate and smart 26 year old. A father, activist and committed campaigner. I am the youngest candidate standing for the Greens and I am number 11 on the Green Party list. I have a vision for our country and believe in an Aotearoa that makes real sustainability and fairness a top priority.

I am passionate about Green politics and would be keen to contribute as an MP.

Why you should vote Gareth

"I am a father, an activist and a passionate Green Party member. To stay fresh and grow we need to attract new young voters and we need credible young candidates high on our list. I am a serious candidate and have the skills, experience and relationships needed to be an effective MP and a complimentary caucus member. Across Aotearoa I have worked with our grassroots activists, MPs and parliamentary team and I know I have what it takes. I am inspired by the positive change we have achieved so far and I have the energy, desire and vision to work towards real sustainability and fairness for the future."
