Tony Milne selected as Labour’s Christchurch Central candidate
Labour Party President Moira Coatsworth has
announced that Tony Milne will be Labour’s candidate for
Christchurch Central at the 2014 General Election. He was
selected from a field of three candidates.
Moira
Coatsworth said today:
“Christchurch Central has a
strong Labour organisation, and our members and supporters
are determined to bring the seat back to Labour. The
electorate faces strong earthquake recovery challenges and
needs a powerful voice in Parliament".
"Christchurch
Central has a long and proud Labour history. Previous MPs
include a Labour Prime Minister and the current Mayor of
Christchurch. Our selection process has given us a very
committed, talented and impressive candidate to continue
that strong tradition."
Tony Milne said today:
"We have an amazing opportunity to re-imagine Christchurch, and I want to be at the heart of that.
"To get there we have many challenges to overcome. I will be standing up for the urgent issues facing Christchurch Central now, such as housing shortages, EQC roadblocks and the need for good jobs and higher incomes".
