Karin Horen is standing for the Takapuna Local Board. As you can see [image above] she was on the “A fresh approach” ticket.
But they have dropped her suddenly.
Why?
Because Karin is Jewish. She was born in Israel and like all Israeli citizens served in her youth in the IDF, over 30 years ago. She has lived in New Zealand since 2009 and is incredibly active in the community. She is a breast cancer survivor, having had it twice. She has kids who have Maori, English and Jewish heritage. She has set up charities. She is an author. She teaches resilience.
