Sarah Lucas
Opportunity candidate for New Plymouth
I’m standing because New Zealand needs leadership that is collaborative, practical, and evidence-based — leadership that builds a stronger, fairer country for the next generation.
A productive New Zealand works for everyone.
Taranaki can help lead it. When we create more value here—through small business, manufacturing, technology and regional investment—we build stronger jobs, services and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Regional Development
Sarah’s flagship portfolio. Back regional businesses, manufacturing, value-added production and the infrastructure that helps Taranaki compete.
Local Government
Build a genuine partnership between local and central government, with clearer accountability and stronger community voices.
Internal Affairs
Protect trusted institutions, transparent decisions and practical public systems that work for people and communities.
Leadership grounded in real life — not career politics.
Meet Sarah
