Chlöe Swarbrick is the Co-Leader of the Green Party and Member of Parliament for Auckland Central.

Chlöe cut her political teeth running for the Auckland Mayoralty in 2016, convinced Tāmaki Makaurau deserved more than back and forth managerialism of the deeply unsatisfactory status quo. The shoe-string budget campaign resonated with nearly 30,000 Aucklanders, putting her to third place.

In 2017, she entered Parliament as a list MP for the Green Party, the youngest MP in Aotearoa in over four decades. She has been the MP for Auckland Central since 2020. In 2024, became the Green Party Co-Leader.

She is now the Party’s spokesperson for Climate Change, Finance and Revenue. She is a member of the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee and co-founded the Cross-Party Group on Mental Health and Addiction, which she Chaired until recently passing the reigns to Kahurangi Carter.

Since entering Parliament, Chlöe has created the Election Access Fund (for candidates with disabilities to get access to funds to remove barriers others don’t face), coordinated the People’s Inquiry into Student Wellbeing, legalised drug checking services, stood with our firefighters in their successful industrial action for fairer pay and conditions, reinstated urban tree protection in collaboration with Hon. Eugenie Sage and many incredible activists, helped lead coordinated responses to the Auckland Anniversary weekend floods and Cyclone Gabrielle, and much more.

Chlöe works to show all New Zealanders that our institutions are just made up of people making decisions, and that these decisions are often constrained by systems designed to give power and privilege to the few. A different world is possible, if we choose to make it a reality by doing the work to make it happen.
