The Labour Party has selected Estefania (Stef) Muller-Pallares as its candidate for the Whangaparāoa electorate in the 2023 general election.
Stephanie grew up in Whangaparāoa and has a Bachelor of Science and Level 6 Māori language certificate. She became a water applications engineer but currently works for several community and environmentally-focused organisations doing research, and planning community engagement and business strategies.
She is on the Te Herenga Waka o Orewa marae committee and has held other significant community roles. Stephanie is well versed in politics and has been a strong advocate for increasing youth voter turnout during the past two elections.
She says being given the opportunity to be the Labour candidate for Whangaparāoa is a great honour. “I am committed to not only seeing the continuation of our strong Labour government but also to uplift the voices, values, concerns and successes of our community into the political space. I’m proudly multicultural and multilingual, being of both pākehā/Norwegian and Catalan heritage. I understand the value of diversity and will be an advocate for all our diverse communities.”
