Summary
Jessica Rowe, a seasoned journalist and foreign policy advisor with deep roots in the Kaipara ki Mahurangi electorate, has been chosen as National’s candidate for the safe seat now open after Chris Penk stepped down. Raised on a local farm and connected through family businesses, Rowe brings firsthand knowledge of rural and suburban life north of Auckland — plus experience in government, including roles at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as a private secretary to ministers. With a background in wool and property, she’s positioned to champion small business interests while aiming to re-elect National and become the next MP for her home community.
