Peter Vaughan for Mayor
Peter Vaughan was raised in West Auckland, and although he has lived outside Auckland on occasion, he has always come back to the city he grew up in and loves.
Peter and his wife Carolyn have 7 children between them, and a number of grandchildren. This has reinforced Peter's strong connection to Auckland, and means he has a vested interest in it being the best it can be, now, and into the future.
Peter has an interesting and varied background, having been a soldier in the territorials, worked as an Electrician on large scale commercial projects, and studied Soil Science. He has also studied people extensively, and acted as an adviser to large Corporates, helping them to chose the right people for the right roles through expert profiling techniques he developed. This means Peter has a vast knowledge of the commercial environment and the people in it to bring to the table in regards to the future of Auckland Super City.
Peter has seen what is going wrong with Auckland, and has new and innovative ideas to get Auckland moving.
Peter is not a Politician, he understands about Budgets and budgeting, and treats spending other peoples money with the respect it deserves.
