Back to blogging

The past two months have been hectic! Juggling paid work with campaign commitments has been a challenge to say the least. Last Thursday I finished up at work and I’ll now be on the campaign trail fulltime. Despite having limited time over the past couple of months, looking back it’s amazing how much ground I’ve managed to cover.

 In the last two months I’ve visited the residents’ associations at Kelson and Belmont, spoken to students at Taita College, visited Fergusson and Maidstone Intermediates, attended the workers’ AGM at the Woburn Rail Workshops, toured the Haywards substation, visited Earthlink in Upper Hutt, and attended the Upper Hutt Citizens Advice Bureau AGM.

In late August we had the PM out to visit the Pomare Union Health Centre and Taita College where she was warmly received. You can read my media release about Pomare and what a great example of community-based healthcare here.

In my spare time (yeah right) I’ve been out door knocking every Saturday morning with a small group of wonderful volunteers. We’ve already covered a lot of ground including Pomare, Taita, Stokes Valley, Totara Park, Trentham, Timberlea and Kelson. There is still a lot more to do but we’re making great progress…
