Fran Wilde endorses
Mayoral candidate Jo Coughlan
Mayoral
Candidate Jo Coughlan today announced she is very honoured
to have the endorsement of former Labour Party Cabinet
Minister, Mayor of Wellington, and Chair of the Regional
Council Fran Wilde.
Coughlan is standing for Mayor
only and as an independent candidate.
“I am very
honoured to be endorsed by Fran Wilde who was a fantastic
and visionary Mayor of Wellington.
Ms Wild said
today, “After looking closely at the three main
contenders, I’m supporting Jo for Mayor because Wellington
needs a clear, focussed and energetic leader,” said Fran
Wilde.
“Jo has worked hard as WCC Economic
Development Portfolio Leader, but on the big issues it’s
the leadership from the Mayor that counts. As well as
energy, Jo has the experience and maturity to steer
Wellington through the next few years.
“She is
young enough to have the energy and importantly, mature
enough to have the judgement that is absolutely required for
this role of Mayor of Wellington.”
Jo has also received
public endorsement from Former Mayor of Wellington Mayor
Kerry Prendergast and Mayoral contender Jack Yan who
received nearly 10,000 votes in the last two
elections.
