Christchurch Bi-Election Announcement

The Conservative Party is pleased to announce its candidate for the Christchurch East Bi-Election, Leighton Baker.

Leighton stood in the electorate during the last general election, after working in the area immediately following the September Earthquakes.

Leighton is a Licensed Building Practitioner and employer, married with
four children, who wants a fair deal for the people of Christchurch.

"The whole building industry works on the principle of getting a good
understanding of the clients needs, then engaging the best people involved
to meet those needs. Thats exactly how a local representative should
operate. Cross party co-operation to meet the needs of constituants," says Mr Baker.

Party Leader Colin Craig says "Leighton is one of New Zealand's good kiwi blokes, and he'll certainly add some life to the campaign."
