Leo Grachev

Passionate about Waitematā the best place to live and work, Leo believes there is a responsibility to deliver for those who call this place home. A next generation leader and the son of hardworking immigrants, Leo is no stranger to putting in the hard yards to make a real difference – especially when it comes to what he believes in. Working with small business owners, Leo values their contributions and the need for them to be heard. A victim of crime, Leo recognises the need to make our city centre and neighbouring suburbs safer. Leo believes council can also do better to deliver more cost-effective and democratic solutions, inviting everybody to the table to ensure a vibrant city for all. It is also time to get Auckland out of gridlock, putting forward common sense transport solutions.
