🌸 Good morning, Waitākere! 🌸

Rizwan from Glen Eden

🌸 Good morning, Waitākere! 🌸

As I dropped my son off at Glen Eden Intermediate School this morning, I was reminded again of what a privilege it is to be part of this community. It’s these everyday moments – our kids learning, our neighbours chatting, our local streets humming with life – that make our home so special.

That’s why I’m humbly asking for your support for the Waitākere Ranges Local Board. I do have is a deep commitment to listening to you and working hard for families like ours.

If you believe in:
✅ Safer streets around our schools and parks
✅ Well-maintained local spaces where kids can play and families can connect
✅ A voice on the board that’s rooted in real life, not just politics

Then I would be truly honoured to earn your vote.

Thank you for being the heart of our community.

With gratitude,
Rizwan
A local parent and your candidate for Waitākere Ranges Local Board
Please vote QURESHI, Rizwan Ahmed
