David Macleod

MP for New Plymouth

I am proud to be the MP for New Plymouth. The family values instilled in me growing up on a dairy farm in Manaia have held me in good stead throughout my life. To me, strong families, caring communities and reward for hard work are at the centre of solving many of society’s challenges.

I am a pragmatic, energetic person who focuses on solutions and getting things done. Integrity, community, and family mean everything to me. I live in New Plymouth with my wife Leasa and together we have three adult children whom we are very proud of.

I’ve been privileged to represent my communities in a range of roles, as a Director of Parininihi ki Waitotara (PKW), Fonterra and Port Taranaki, and as Chair of the Taranaki Regional Council, and Predator Free 2050.

Please get in touch with me, I am always keen to hear what matters most to you.

David

As one of Taranaki's representatives, I want to take particular interest in, monitor, and survey the progress of forthcoming legislation that will have impact on our communities.
