Mayor

My principal place of residence is in the Christchurch City Council area.

The Press once reported this candidate as having a bewildering array of social and scientific knowledge, but it is a pity he didn't reveal he has a cannabis conviction. Now offers Christchurch pragmatic, centrist leadership focused on core issues: sustainable, rapid regional and civic transport, evidence-based environmental action, and resolving the urban planning crisis.
By championing a regulated cannabis market, projected to generate a billion-dollar evidence-based social dividend for our community, this bold initiative draws deeply on Deloitte's reports on Canada's reforms (Google Deloitte Cannabis Canada), which in its first three years, demonstrated >CA$43Billion in GDP, that rightly, can be reinvested locally in vital services and infrastructure.
Christchurch East and Central already voted Yes, I intend to honour that sentiment, now grounded in data and international collaboration.
I am committed to building a connected, resilient, liveable Christchurch, tackling crucial issues while fostering innovative opportunities in transport, technology, agriculture and science.

My principal place of residence is not in the Christchurch City Council area.

I’m looking at bringing the One Policy to all those guilty of terrorism and treason.
Using this as a stepping stone towards the highest level of power. I’ve challenged the state since 1998 using free speech, and the obvious problems of mass imported voters, over the selling out of our nation’s inherent assets.
Having had many corrupt government entities deny OIA requests/personal information requests, that have been upheld by the privacy commission, I feel this is an appropriate opportunity to seek this information with the clout of a mayoral title. Considering police claimed along with their media, that there was more than one shooter 2019 and that police stated three alnoorians gave written statements saying I was there and that police had camera footage of my Estima, with slightly altered number plates. The judge denied my request to play my statement evidencing the police’s claims, for their international media circus.

My principal place of residence is in the Christchurch City Council area. I am also standing for Spreydon Ward Councillor and Spreydon Ward of the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

Most of the frontages in Cheviot Street have been set back so that the street can be widened the width of the footpath on both sides and the blind bend on the reserve. When there is a function at the school, cars park both sides of the street, the fire engine and ambulance can’t get thru, and the rubbish truck has to reverse and go round twice. A start on widening Cheviot must be made before Labour Weekend. Roseberry and Bletsoe Ave do not need narrowing, they are good, wide safe streets.

Hi, my name is Thomas Healey, I am a long term resident of Christchurch living in Heathcote Valley.
I am self employed as a garden support and advisory person and also a board member with the Canterbury Community Garden Association.
I am standing for Mayor with a fresh perspective on transparency and accountability, from ballooning expenses, clear communication with both staff and members of the public, and speeding up permits and red tape with full consultation of all parties.
I believe that as a community we can make Christchurch true to its name The Garden City similar to the garden of Eden! No corruption and in harmony with its residents.

You deserve a Council that values common sense, clear priorities and real results. That’s why I’m standing for re-election as Mayor of Christchurch – and asking for your vote.
As an independent, I focus on what matters: lowering rates increases, fixing roads, upgrading infrastructure and keeping the city running.
We’ve got momentum. We'll have a brand-new stadium next year, and we’re delivering a modern, environmentally friendly wastewater system.
But too often, a practical, value-for-money approach hasn’t had enough support around the Council table. I’ve pushed back on wasteful spending and overcomplicated projects.
Despite that, we’re moving forward. I’ve made compromises – but I’ve also delivered.
I’m committed to keeping control of our key public assets and investing in what counts.
I know we haven’t got everything right, but I listen, I act, and I care.
Christchurch must not lose the momentum it has.
Vote Phil Mauger for Mayor.

Tēnā koutou, Christchurch.
My name is Nikora Nitro. I am 47 years old and have lived and worked in Ōtautahi for 25 years. I’m standing for Mayor because I believe the next three years offer real opportunity to achieve the aspirations of our communities. Through collaborative leadership—between Council, Community Boards, residents, and stakeholders—we can move Christchurch forward.
My priorities include: Capping rates increases at 3.5%, Establishing five city entrepreneur hubs, Addressing homelessness and creating jobs, Expanding the city’s housing portfolio, Strengthening tourism and infrastructure, Promoting unity, celebration, and wellbeing.
Christchurch has the people, the passion, and the resources to deliver real outcomes. A bicultural model of leadership ensures inclusive decision-making, where every voice counts. With your support, we can create a thriving, inclusive, and future-focused city—together.
Ngā mihi nui, Nikora Nitro

My principal place of residence is in the Christchurch City Council area.

I am standing for mayor to drive real progress and create an affordable, liveable and resilient city now and for future generations.
As a City Councillor for the last nine years, I’ve been a champion for Christchurch and Banks Peninsula, committed to our communities and a healthy environment.
We’ve made great progress since the earthquakes, however we’re at risk of losing momentum. With current short-term thinking we’re losing sight of what matters for our future.
I will lead a council focused on delivering on our promises and working together for the best interest of our city.
My priorities are; looking after our people, improving our water pipes and transport system, climate action, keeping our strategic assets, retaining core services, and really listening to residents.
I’m from the community and I’m for the community. I have the skills, vision and energy to lead our city forward.

My principal place of residence is in the Christchurch City Council area. I am also standing for Auckland Council Mayor.

The deputy Mayor covers for the Mayor.
Wakeman is a former pilot.
Wakeman opposed some airline mergers and alliances and believes he succeeded in influencing the NZ Government’s decision allowing Emirates and some other airlines better traffic rights via submissions to the Commerce Commission.
The Office of the Ombudsman released disappointing reports on the Christchurch City Council.
Wakeman complained to the Parliamentary Speaker Gerry Brownly about the Office of the Ombudsman. Currently this office is refusing to give correspondence between Wakeman and the Ombudsman. Instead, they are asking for Wakeman to prove that he has sufficient interest before they process his outstanding complaints even though Wakeman’s emails were hacked and house burgled. Wakeman has made a complaint to the Police about the activities of the Ombudsman which include alleged privacy breaches.
Wakeman wants better transparency and stronger accountability. More defence spending means less elsewhere. Wakeman opposes the fluoridation of water.
