When it comes to being elected to Auckland Council, it appears money can’t buy you love.
Some of the highest spending candidates in last October’s election failed to win voter support, while other more conservative spending candidates were successful.
According to the mandatory election returns filed by all candidates, the bulk of spending went on advertising, signage, social media promotion, billboards and flyers. Interestingly, there were one or two candidates who also added the cost of makeup artistry and promotional clothing to their expense list.
