Ken Harpur comes from a hard-working family background where he learned the value of putting in effort and achieving practical results. He is focused on supporting the aspirations of New Zealanders and encouraging people to work toward their personal goals.

Ken decided to step into politics out of concern for the erosion of free speech and a dislike for identity politics. Strongly supporting ACT's core values, he wants to ensure New Zealand remains an environment where people can successfully grow, enjoy their personal freedoms, and take pride in their country. Standing in Ilam, Ken is committed to helping grow ACT's team and keeping the government focused on practical outcomes.
