It's important
'It is important to Vote'.
I say this because when you do, you are invested in the people you want to represent you.
I am standing for the Whangarei Urban vacancy for the Northland Regional Council (NRC) I have been asked often " What precisely does the NRC do?" and "What will you do make a difference?"
I can answer this. www.youtube.com... is the video I was shown at our Candidate information session and makes it clearer what you will be voting for in this coming by-election - someone who will represent you and who can be trusted to make decisions for the best possible outcomes for Northland.
BE HEARD, BE SAFE, THRIVE
I am invested in our community. I live in our community and I have brought up my children in this community. We survive and thrive through our environment, and I want us all to be well and loving our lives.
