Labour's Jo Luxton wins National-held Rangitata
Labour's Jo Luxton is ready to celebrate after winning the Rangitata seat off National with a majority of more than 3000 votes.
Luxton, a Labour list MP from 2017 and ranked 41 in the current list, had an election night total of 18,876, 3484 clear of National’s Megan Hands, 67 on her party’s list, who finished with 15,392.
Luxton said the win would change her role as an MP as she moved from working as a list MP to the MP for Rangitata.
“There is a lot more resourcing that goes with being an MP. As a list MP you don't get that much resourcing compared to an elected MP ... That will be really great to be able to service the electorate better.”
