Communities and Residents (C&R) is proud to endorse Auckland mayoral candidate Viv Beck in the 2022 Auckland Local Elections, C&R President Kit Parkinson says.

“Viv is the only centre-right candidate in the mayoral race and has the leadership skills and experience to deliver the best results for Aucklanders.

“It’s been very clear for some time that Aucklanders have not seen the progress needed on the issues that matter most. With overloaded infrastructure; grid-lock traffic; polluted beaches; budget blow outs; and poor strategic planning, we need a Mayor with the passion, determination and skills to get things done.

“Viv’s values closely align with C&R’s. We’re looking forward to working with her and sharing our compelling proposition to voters. There is only one way to vote in this election and we have both the team and the policies to put the “Super” back into the City,” says Mr Parkinson.

Auckland mayoral candidate Viv Beck is excited for the campaign ahead.   

“I am delighted to have this endorsement from C&R. It’s very important that a Mayor listens to all perspectives to make sound decisions for the future of Auckland, and what I am hearing is a clear desire for change.

“Having an endorsed centre-right candidate gives clarity for voters and I look forward to working with C&R and other like-minded candidates to make the change needed,” says Ms Beck.

Serving Aucklanders for over 80 years, C&R is the most experienced centre-right association in Auckland local government whose values include putting local residents at the heart of decision-making, smart spending of ratepayer money, delivering core council services, and preserving our environment.
