#BHNDunedin Carmen Houlahan for Dunedin City Mayor

Candidate Statement My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area. I am also standing for Councillor. I am passionate about our city and having served a term on council I am concerned about the direction Dunedin is going and this is why I am running for Mayor. The next three years will see us enter a time of opportunity and recovery. Businesses have suffered from Covid restrictions and now many from road works disruptions. We need a council that supports business to recover, a council that uses its common sense with spending, is committed to mitigating climate change, and works with and for our community and ratepayers. Dunedin needs leadership where action is taken to fix problems, opportunities that will benefit our future generations are explored, and assets are protected, upgraded when needed and maintained. I am a leader who is open, honest and fair. I look forward to working with Dunedin citizens, business owners, and elected members toward a better Dunedin.
