Electing the Mayor

Richard ROSS
Independent

My principal place of residence is in the Waitomo District Council area. I am also standing for Te Kūiti Ward. (see separate profile below)
I was raised right here in the Waitomo District, from Aria to Te Kūiti. This isn’t just my district, it’s my home. I’m a working-class local who’s been in the engine room of Council, seeing what really goes on. I’m standing to flip the script, locals first, not politics. Let’s get back to basics and do them well. It’s time to tighten the belt, put ratepayers and community first and make decisions that benefit the majority, not just a few. New leadership, someone who’ll speak up, stand up and deliver. I’m here to fight for a better future for our district, our kids and every resident who calls this place home.
