Tory won by a landslide 34,510 votes – over double the votes received by the second-place candidate. It was the largest victory seen in 18 years. We chatted to Tory at the very start of her campaign, when this was all ahead of her. election-candidates media Mon, 10 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://capitalmag.co.nz/2022/10/11/tory-whanaus-run-for-office/ Capital Magazine 2022-10-10T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147723 The Wellington local election campaign is coming to an end and it would be overstating things to say it has been dull. The only pinch of excitement came with the emergence of a young Māori wahine, carrying progressive values. When the debates started, it all went downhill. There have been dozens of them, and the only takeaway is that all candidates want a vibrant, inclusive, green city. This set of commonplaces is not helping to differentiate one candidate from another, for example during the conclusion of the Spinoff debate. On the policy front, they all say they’ll achieve their “vision” with better bus services (over which they have zero control) and more housing. And since I want to vote on a vision and its supporting policies, and not for a person, it’s been very hard, listening to the debates and reading candidates’ websites, to feel we have a choice. election-candidates media Wed, 28 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147723 Wellington Scoop 2022-09-28T00:00:00Z https://capitalmag.co.nz/2022/09/22/the-highs-and-lows-of-being-mayor/ We asked two previous Mayors, Dame Kerry Prendergast and Celia Wade-Brown, to reflect on their time in office and asked what Wellington needs next.
