At the last election, Willis campaigned for the Wellington electorate of Ōhāriu, which was narrowly won by Labour's Greg O'Connor with 17,565 votes to Willis' 16,305. The electorate will next year be split into the new seats of Kenepuru and Kāpiti, which replace Mana and Ōtaki. Willis said the economy was growing again and inflation had come down as a result of the government's plan.
