Angela Roberts has been selected as the Labour Party candidate for the Taranaki-King Country electorate in the 2023 general election.
Angela has lived and worked in the electorate for much of her adult life. She was a secondary school teacher of economics and drama at Stratford High School for many years and served as president of the secondary teachers’ union, the PPTA.
She has represented Labour in Parliament as a list MP based in Taranaki-King Country since the last election in 2020. She says in addition to supporting the provision of quality public education, she has focused her energy on workforce issues and delivering for the primary production sector and rural communities.
Angela says it’s been an honour to serve the community in Parliament over the last three years.
“Supporting our rural communities and educators through the challenges they face, especially during Covid, has been such a privilege. I’m thrilled to have been selected and I am committed to getting Labour re-elected.”
