Chris Latham

Kia ora, I’m Chris Latham, and I’m passionate about helping our vibrant community thrive. Papatoetoe is a cultural melting pot, rich in diversity and strength. I live locally and work at Papatoetoe High School, keeping me closely connected to the everyday lives and aspirations of our community. I bring integrity to local governance and a balanced approach to decision-making.

As a candidate for C&R Communities and Residents, I’m committed to putting the needs of our residents first—focusing on local safety, quality infrastructure, and directing funding where it’s most needed. With housing growth putting pressure on streets, parks, and services, safety remains a top priority, and I want residents to have trust and confidence in how decisions are made locally.

I believe in Papatoetoe’s future and want to help build a safe, connected community that puts residents first. I prioritise responsible spending and effective local services.

I would be honoured to earn your support once again.
