Caleb Riddick

Candidate for Mayor • Palmerston North City Council

Affiliation Independent

I’m not a polished career politician.

I’m Māori and Pākehā - too much for some, not enough for others. But I know who I am, and I’m proud to call Palmerston North home.

I know what it’s like to clock in before sunrise, work hard all day, and come home to whānau who need you and bills that don’t wait.

I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I’ll listen, I’ll learn, and I’ll fight alongside you to find the solution for us.

You won’t find me hiding behind a desk. I’ll be in the Square, at the game, on the street - where the people are.

When Palmy wins, we all win. When it goes wrong, I’ll take the responsibility.

A mayor for the people from the people.

Vote Riddick.
