Opposition Leader Simon Bridges has appointed Amy Adams as Opposition Finance Spokesperson, saying she is the best person to ensure the Government builds on the National Party’s world-class economic record and does not squander New Zealand’s hard-won success.
“I am today announcing Amy Adams as our Finance Spokesperson and the third-ranked MP in our Caucus, ahead of the caucus reshuffle to show the economy remains the National Party’s number one priority," National Party Leader Simon Bridges said.
Amy Adams was considered as Simon Bridges nearest contender in the recently concluded leadership bid, which saw Mr Bridges winning after two rounds of voting.
Ms Adams has been promoted to third ranking MP after Mr Bridges and his deputy Paula Bennet.
“Amy is an incredibly experienced former Minister, serving as Associate Minister of Finance as well as holding a range of important and challenging portfolios, from Social Housing to Justice and Environment, which she handled with real diligence and focus.
“She has chaired Parliament’s Finance and Expenditure Select Committee, has a background in commercial law and is a talented and hard-working member of the National Party caucus," Mr Bridges said.
Amy Adams will have big shoes to fill after Nat's successful finance ministers, Bill English and Steven Joyce.
