Mayor Wayne Brown today announced his official endorsement of Danielle Grant as the "Fix Auckland" candidate for the North Shore Ward, praising her proven leadership and commitment to financial responsibility.

"Danielle Grant is exactly the kind of clear-thinking, action-oriented Councillor the North Shore needs." said Mayor Brown.

"The next Council needs people committed to building a better city in a collaborative and constructive manner. Danielle that kind of person, with tremendous Local Board experience."

• Make the Most of our Environment: Advocating for smart, sustainable solutions to protect and enhance Auckland's natural spaces.
• Manage Auckland Transport: Demanding accountability and better performance from Auckland Transport to improve the daily commute for residents.

"I am honoured to receive the support of Mayor Brown and to stand as a 'Fix Auckland' candidate," said Danielle Grant.

"My priority is to deliver better outcomes for the North Shore. I will work collaboratively with the Mayor and my fellow Councillors to fix our infrastructure, keep a firm grip on rates, and ensure we're making decisions that truly benefit our community."

"Danielle isn’t just about talk; she’s about results," said Mayor Brown. "I am confident that if elected, she will be a powerful voice for the North Shore and a valuable asset to the Council."
