Glen Bennett is the candidate for the Coromandel electorate ahead of the next general election.
Currently serving his second term in Parliament, Bennett is a Labour List MP, Senior Whip and spokesperson for Tourism and Hospitality, a portfolio with direct relevance to jobs, small business and the Coromandel economy. Bennett says he is standing to deliver strong, grounded representation and advocacy for the Coromandel, now and for future generations.
“Across the electorate, people are feeling the pressure of rising costs, health services and housing stress, and the growing impacts of climate change on our coastlines, roads, jobs and local businesses,” Glen Bennett said.
“The Coromandel is a special place that deserves representation that understands both its beauty and its vulnerability.”
Bennett brings more than two decades of experience working alongside diverse communities across New Zealand. He says his upbringing in a Salvation Army family shaped his commitment to service and deepened his understanding of how important strong communities are, especially during tough times.
“I’ve spent my working life focused on the things that make a real difference in people’s lives,” he said. “I believe everyone deserves to belong, to be heard and to have a fair go.”
Bennett is asking Coromandel voters to cast their electorate vote for Glen Bennett and their party vote for Labour at the upcoming General Election.
