Christine Rankin

My principal place of residence is in the Taupō Ward area.

I am standing for election again because I am determined to make this district the best it can be.

I am a very experienced leader and business operator. My whole career has been involved with serving the public in a range of different ways including in local government.

I am courageous and strong and will fight for what I believe is right even if I stand alone.

I am committed to the Taupo District and the coming term will be very challenging with more massive change on the way.

I believe my skills are very necessary to ensure you as the ratepayer and citizen are heard and included in all major decision making.

I work for and am accountable to the voters not the council, which is a very important approach to ensure you are at the centre of what we do.
