In the lead up to the 2020 election, Stuff is keeping voters up to date with what’s happening in their electorate, through Neighbourly. Here’s what you need to know about the candidates in the running to be Hauraki-Waikato's MP.
At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.
Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.
Why does my MP matter?
The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you’re having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn’t enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.
Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.
In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.

The campaign is a collaboration between Taupo District Council, Hawkes Bay Regional Council, Waka Kotahi and New Zealand Police and focuses on State Highway Five.
This stretch of road is a ‘hot-spot’ for driver fatigue with 29 crashes occurring due to driver fatigue between 2015 and 2019.
This new collaboration has targeted State Highway Five as a significant risk for driver fatigue related crashes. It includes fatigue stops where drivers are given refreshments and can discuss the importance of breaking up their journey.
Road safety coordinator Sarah Wraight is pleased with the partnership and hopes this campaign raises awareness around the dangers of driving while tired.
“With fatigue being recognised as a key factor in our districts, it has been great to form a collaborative response to try and combat this,” she said.
“Anything we can do to keep people safe when travelling on our roads has got to be a good thing.”
Look out for more fatigue stops around the area in the coming months or head here to find out more about how driving tired affects you and how to recognise some warning signs.
