Minto in Auckland Mayoral Race
PRESS RELEASE
Minto Throws His Hat in the Ring for MANA in Auckland Mayoral Race
Thursday May 2nd 2013
Last night the MANA Co-Vice President John Minto
was endorsed as an official MANA Movement candidate for the
Auckland supercity mayoralty.
John is looking forward to the campaign.
“Heaven knows Auckland needs a break from the dreadful policies of the past which have left the majority of Aucklanders struggling to get ahead.”
“It’s a great opportunity to get MANA’s messages out there to the people of Auckland and give them a real choice in the mayoral race.”
The election will be fought over :
• Traffic
gridlock
• Affordable rental housing
•
A living wage for Aucklanders
• Who runs the
supercity – Auckland or Wellington?
• Rates
and council charges
MANA is putting the final touches to policy in each of these areas and we’ll announce them following the MANA campaign launch for the mayoralty – date yet to be finalised.
In due course MANA will also announce policies covering other important issues facing the city.
