Leading local martial arts instructor and
school owner Sean Fitzpatrick is to stand in the Mana
by-election for the Libertarianz Party.
"The Libertarianz
Party has an optimistic and positive view of the people of
Mana," Fitzpatrick says. “They are hard working, generous
and independent – the kind of folk all Kiwis pride

Fitzpatrick continues, "This is in

support for granted."
"This election is a chance for the
good people of Mana to start taking control of their own
lives by voting Libertarianz," Fitzpatrick concludes.
