Walt Cavendish

Candidate statement

Independent

My principal place of residence is in the Waihou General Constituency area.

I’m a dairy farmer from Richmond Downs and proud to live and work in the Waihou Constituency. I’m standing for Waikato Regional Council because rural communities like ours are being overlooked by Wellington-style bureaucracy and costly, top-down policies that don’t reflect the realities on the ground.

If elected, I will push back against wasteful spending, unworkable environmental rules, and race-based governance. I believe in practical, common-sense solutions that protect our land and water while supporting the people who care for them.

I will focus on ensuring fairer rates, smarter infrastructure investment, and a council that listens to the needs of rural families and small businesses. My goal is to bring transparency and accountability to decision-making, with every ratepayer’s dollar treated with respect.

Local voices matter, and I will be a strong voice for Waihou and rural Waikato.
