Michelle McGuire

Four generations of my family have called this Eastern ward home. I’ve run 2 successful businesses in residential construction and distribution. I bring project management skills, practicality, can-do attitude, determination, experience and the strength of mind to make the hard decisions.

I stand with the Independent Together–Vote for IT group, as to effect change requires a majority around the council table. Our team will ease the financial burden on ratepayers and renters. We will cut wasteful spending and stop unnecessary projects that the city cannot afford. We will work towards a zero rates increase and get the council to stick to core priorities, while protecting suburban community assets like parks, pools and halls. We will keep party politics out of local government.

To guarantee real positive change and to keep Wellington affordable for future generations, vote for me and the other candidates from Independent Together–Vote for IT. www.voteforit.nz
