Why do you want to be a city councillor/mayor?

What do you see as the major issues facing the region over the next three years?

Are you a member of, or do you work for either directly or indirectly or are you closely associated with a registered political party?

What do you think of Three Waters?

What is your view of wards in which only Maori can stand and vote?

Do you support co-governance with Mana Whenua?

How do you see the relationship between Local Goverment and Central Government?

Is there anything the Waikato Regional Council is currently involved in that, in your view, it should not be involved in?

Is there any initiative the WRC should be involved in?

Voter turn-out in Local elections is about half that of the turn-out in Parliamentary elections (about 40 per cent compared to about 80 percent). How would you explain the difference?

Should there be a limit on the number of consecutive terms any councillor can serve, say three?
