Stephen Berry (born 14 February 1983) is a perennial candidate in New Zealand national and local politics, running on right-wing positions.
He then attended Manurewa Intermediate and spent year 9 and 10 at James Cook High School, where he played cricket for Weymouth.
[11] He demanded Len Brown's donors be made public, following a $273,375.22 donation from the New Auckland Council Trust.
[12] He criticised Auckland Transport for $41,500 spent on a party for 1700 staff and family at The Cloud, including entertainment from The X Factor winner Jackie Thomas.
He said Auckland Transport wasn't hearing the clear message at the local body elections on responsible spending of ratepayers' money "when they throw enormous parties like this".
He and spokesman Will Ryan said the march was not so much about Mr Brown's private life as his undeclared activities and poor financial management.
[18] In the 2014 New Zealand general election, he ran for ACT in the Upper Harbour electorate[19] and was 6th on the party list.
[23] In the 2017 New Zealand general election, he stood for ACT in the East Coast Bays electorate and was 5th on the party list.
[24] He said he would abolish the Rural Urban Boundary and open up space for 600,000 homes to impact the price of housing.
[33] Berry's dream for Northcote was a new six-lane motorway over the harbour at Point Chevalier,[34] revived from a 1972 Ministry of Works plan, to fix the Onewa Road congestion.
[37][38][39] In the 2020 New Zealand general election, he contested the Pakuranga electorate for ACT and was ninth on the party list,[40][41] but resigned from running in September 2020, citing "physical exhaustion".
[49] This was part of the culling of more than 70,000 "QAnon-related accounts", including President Donald Trump, following the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol.
