Francisco Hernandez (born 1990 or 1991)[2] is a New Zealand politician, soon to represent the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand as a Member of Parliament.

Early life

Hernandez was born in the Philippines and moved to Wellington when he was 12 with his family.[3][4] His father, Rossano Hernandez, had been a politician aligned with Joseph Estrada and left the Philippines with his family after the fall of the Estrada administration in 2001.[5] Francisco Hernandez graduated from the University of Otago with a degree in Politics, and is pursuing a master's degree in economics.[4]

Political career

Hernandez enrolled with the Labour Party in 2008 when he began studying at Otago, before joining the Green Party in 2014.[4] Hernandez was president of the Otago University Students' Association (OUSA) in 2013,[5] and previously held positions on the OUSA executive in 2011 and 2012.[1]

In the 2013 local elections, he unsuccessfully ran for a councillor position at Dunedin City Council[6][7] and, subsequently, for head of the New Zealand Union of Students' Associations (NZUSA).[8] In the 2016 local elections, he unsuccessfully stood for a position on the Henderson-Massey Local Board.[9]

After leaving university in 2014, he began working as a Green Party parliamentary staffer and policy advisor, before joining the Climate Change Commission to work on sustainable waste usage.[5] He served as chief climate change advisor for the Otago Regional Council before entering parliament.[5]
