This campaign is built on being present in the community and listening to people across the Waikato.

I’m hosting and attending events throughout the electorate — from informal community conversations to local meetings and public gatherings. Everyone is welcome.

Join Walt for the official launch of our campaign for the Waikato electorate.

Walt will deliver The Waikato Address outlining his vision for the region, the challenges facing Waikato communities, and the priorities he will take forward if elected to Parliament.

This is a grounded, open event focused on substance, not slogans, with time for questions and discussion.

Sunday, 15 March 2026 | 2:00pm – 4:00pm

Waikato Community Conversations are informal, open discussions held in local cafés and community venues.

There are no speeches and no stage.
Just respectful conversation over a cup of tea or coffee about the issues that matter to you.

Upcoming dates and locations will be listed here as they are confirmed.

Election night is about more than results.
It’s about people, community and the shared belief that the Waikato deserves strong local representation.

On election night, I’ll be hosting a Standing Together gathering a chance to come together, reflect on the campaign  and acknowledge everyone who has been part of this journey.

Win, lose or draw, this campaign has been built on respect, honesty and community and that’s worth recognising.
