For Auckland
I am a working class man who will listen only to what YOU think is best for Auckland. I will put my personal views aside and concentrate on the city’s problems. Unlike career politicians I’ll concentrate on the hard issues historically avoided. High on my list will be public safety, transport solutions, careful spending of ratepayers’ (Your) money and the preservation and growth of Auckland’s reputation.
I’m standing as the only non-business-funded independent believing that politics should be kept out of Local Government; the Locals should have the only voice in power, not the old boys club.
I personally will bring back Honesty, Accountability, Morality and Common Sense (pretty much Unheard of in Politics). I’m loyal, 100% committed, energetic and will work my big heart out for you, the Locals.
Use your vote for the good of Auckland, and really have a crack at making Auckland Super.
Vote: Mark Ross
For Christchurch Burwood Pegasus I urge you to cast your two votes very carefully this year as they could be for the good or harm of Christchurch. I’m your typical working class man (Courier Driver and Former Street Cleaner) that is sick and tired of our council making decisions that should be left to Property Developers and Event Promoters, whilst key services are being ignored. I’m probably the only non business funded Independent in our electorate and I don’t belong to a political party so that means one thing and one thing only. I’m able to listen to all residents point of view and act accordingly. I don’t have to ask the opinions of my campaign backers or a bunch of political party types. All I’ll do is listen to you, The Locals. So please Vote Ross and let’s keep politics out of Local Government and give locals the only true Voice!
Top 5 Issues
- Politicians doing what they want instead of what you want. Tell me what you want http://www.supermayor.co.nz
- Lack of Common Sense Decision Making
- Lack of Accountability in everything
- Auckland's Horrendous Traffic Systems, and Crime rates.
Christchurch: Rebuilding it better than it was in the Burwood Pegasus Electorate. - Auckland unable to put a tent on a wharf, build a waterfront stadium, hold a street race, run a successful event and to that matter do anything right under the current crop of useless politicians.
Christchurch: Full transparency for locals, not back room decisions by scumbag political parties.
Personal Profile
Well it’s quite hard to talk about yourself, that’s why I imagine other candidates get someone else to do it for them, or they come up with an excuse like they are too busy, which in political talk means they can’t be bothered.
So I’ll just put it into bullet points to avoid your pain and misery.

Awaiting response
check out other candidate's answersI\'ll be prepared to listen to your views and act on what is best for Auckland, unlike other candidates that will pretend to and then do what they want regardless, as politicians as we know are the least trusted people in the country and are just scumbags.
I see everyone as equals as we all human (well, most of us). So you\'ll get the same voice as anyone else, true democracy.
What can I do for you personally, nothing! But as a community of Auckland, well the sky is the limit if we all work together instead of fight like our current leaders (eg Labour, National, ACT, Greens, Maori, United Future and Jim Anderton ((Clown)) Parties).

Im here to serve the entire Auckland Community, and will listen to everyone that wants to voice an opinion in any form.
Cheers
