MPs in Depth: David MacLeod
This week on Taxpayer Talk is another episode in our MPs in Depth podcast series where we get to know Parliament's new MPs. In this episode, we sat down with National Party MP, David MacLeod.
David is the MP for New Plymouth and was elected at the 2023 general election. He spent 22 years on Taranaki Regional Council, including 15 years as the Chair. He has also been a director on some significant organisations including Port Taranaki, Fonterra and Predator Free 2050. Early in his career, David was an electrician and eventually took over the company he worked for and grew it to more than 100 tradespeople.
In the podcast, we explore what drives David, why he wanted to become an MP, and what he hopes to achieve during his time in Parliament.
David's maiden speech can be watched here. Follow David on Facebook here.
