Election Officially Underway

The year has rushed past and the formal part of the election campaign is now upon us. I launched my campaign for the Rimutaka seat on the 4th of September with a big fundraising dinner at China City Restaurant. Our special guest speaker for the evening was Housing Minister Maryan Street and over 80 supporters turned out to get the ball rolling.

A week later the PM announced that the election would be held on Saturday the 8th of November, so the campaign is now well and truly in full swing. We had a busy weekend getting all our hoardings up, and as expected we’ve already had to do a few running repairs! The photo below shows me and my friend Peter Wray in front of the first hoarding we completed on Akatarawa Road on Saturday morning.
