Second Waimakariri councillor announces intention to stand for mayor

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Four-term Waimakariri District councillor Dan Gordon has announced he will run for the mayoralty at this year's local body elections.

The 43-year-old lives in Loburn and is one of four councillors representing the Rangiora-Ashley Ward.

Gordon is the second councillor to throw his hat in the ring after Paul Williams announced he would stand in January.

Williams has spent just one term on the council but said he had politics in his veins — his father was a long-term member of the Kaiapoi Borough Council before the Waimakariri District Council was established in October 1989 as part of the local government reforms. His uncle, cousin and grandfather were all former Kaiapoi mayors.
