I enjoyed communicating with you during this process where I learnt so much about Dunedin.
I grew up in northern Manawatu, also on a dairy farm like you did. Perhaps this is what gave me
an understanding of where you were coming from. Your grasp of all the issues, accompanied with the rare qualities of humility and humour made it a pleasure to be involved.
If you get in, you will be a real asset. If your miss out, bear this in mind:
Abraham Lincoln ran for the U.S Senate and lost twice. He also ran for the U.S House of Representatives and lost twice before finally getting elected in 1846.
Good luck Rich. Regardless of the outcome, having your voice heard was certainly effective at making a few people think I'm sure. And sometimes when one runs for office that is more important than winning the race. Thanks for keeping us updated. As an American it has been interesting to see that politics in NZ are just as stomach churning as they are here. 😅
Dante Frean, I have replied to you elsewhere, you can reply there. Please refrain from posting on this post again thanks.
The results are here for anybody who want's to have a look at them.

The failures deepened his resolve.
Good luck!
