For six years I have been asking you (my community) to allow me the opportunity to stand and be given the honour to represent the town which has nurtured my childhood, given me the pride to bring children into this town. I have watched our local governance become more and more politically aligned - especially since the emergence of the politically created experiment I call the Super (Dooper) City. We don't need political inspired groups - we need local (and vocal) representatives. I know Papakura; I love Papakura. I want to stand up and represent Papakura! Please vote for Karin Kerr. Thank you in advance for any and everyone who ticks my name. Change for the better.
