Final Election Results
The final official results of the Auckland Council election were released today, confirming that I've been elected as one of your Auckland Councillors for the North Shore, alongside Richard Hills! And we are the two highest polling councillors in Auckland!
I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me, whether by voting for me, helping me with the campaign, or by speaking to me on your doorstep. I'm humbled, but also very happy, to have received such a high level of support and mandate from across the North Shore.
I also re-stood for the Kaipātiki Local Board as part of the fantastic Shore Action team and I'm very proud that the official results have confirmed that we have once again succeeded in winning all 8 seats! Thankyou to everyone for your on-going confidence in Shore Action!
However, as I've been elected as a councillor, I've vacated my local board seat which allows the next-highest polling candidate, independent Emma Ryburn-Phengsavath, to join the board. Congratulations to Danielle Grant, Paula Gillon, Melanie Kenrick, Dr Janet Tupou, Dr Raymond Tan, Dave Kaio and Emma Ryburn-Phengsavath!
Congratulations also to the new Devonport-Takapuna Local Board members - George Wood, Gavin Busch, Trish Deans, Garth Ellingham, Terence Harpur and Scott MacArthur!
I look forward to a close working relationship with all of the above North Shore local board members.
Lastly a huge thankyou to Mandy, Charlotte and Veronica for your endless support and help with the campaign, and also to Mum and Dad who delivered my newspaper and flyer to a phenomenal number of letterboxes!
