Upper Hutt City Councillor

Why I'm standing

I have been on council for nine years and in that time I have learned a lot of the skills required to continue leading our city into the future. With a mild manor, strong will and friendly disposition I believe I can lead a cohesive group of independent minds around the Upper Hutt City Council table. Vote Blair for Mayor. #blairformayor

About me

As a self employed business person for the last 25 plus years, employing many staff and nine years on council, including chairing committees, I have a large range of experience to lead us into the future.

My priorities
  1. Stalling amalgamation while encouraging shared services.
  2. Ensure a strong voice within the regional groups to make sure we never end up the smallest sibling.
  3. Ensure and encourage safety and vibrancy in our city.
