Election candidates to front up at Town Hall

Beth Houlbrooke, Marja Lubeck, Callan Neylon, Chris Penk.

Residents of the new Kaipara ki Mahurangi electorate will have their first opportunity to grill candidates ahead of the General Election at a meeting at the Warkworth Town Hall on July 9.   

The Meet the Candidates meeting is being hosted by One Warkworth and will be chaired by One Warkworth manager Murray Chapman.

As Mahurangi Matters went to press, the confirmed candidates attending are Beth Houlbrooke (ACT), Marja Lubeck (Labour), Chris Penk (National) and Callan Neylon (Social Credit).

Mr Chapman said he was still waiting to hear who the NZ First candidate would be. As yet, there appeared to be no candidate for the Green Party, One Party or the Opportunities Party.

Doors open at 6pm for a 6.30 start.  

The General Election will be held on Saturday, September 19.
