Minto throws his hat in the ring for MANA in Auckland Mayoral race

Posted on May 2, 2013 by admin in John Minto, Press Releases

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.
