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.
