PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE USE
Sutton wins Labour nomination for Epsom
Kate Sutton
is excited to have been confirmed as Labour's candidate
for
Epsom at next year's general election.
"It is a
great honour and privilege to have been selected to
represent
Labour in Epsom. At the last election almost
ten thousand people from this electorate voted to ensure
Labour was returned to Government for an historic third
term. I committed to working hard for the Labour vote
in
Epsom, to return Helen Clark and the Labour led
government for a fourth term in 2008" Ms Sutton
said.
Epsom LEC Chairman Grahame Lee observed that "Epsom
voters now had the choice of a refreshing young candidate
over the too-familiar faces of the past."
Ms Sutton, who
is 26, was brought up in Auckland and attended Glendowie
College. She obtained a Master of Arts degree with honours
majoring in Political Science at the University of Auckland,
where she also served a term as the President of the
Auckland University Students' Association.
Ms Sutton works as Public affairs and Corporate Responsibly Manager for Landco Land Developments, is Chair of the Tamaki Community Board and an Alumni Representative on the University of Auckland Council
