Mayoral Statement – Rob McCann

Kāpiti Mayoral candidate Rob McCann

“Kāpiti needs fresh leadership. If we’re serious about controlling rates, we must lead by example – and not approve $50,000 pay rises for a new CEO just one year into the job.

“Leadership starts at the top. As your Mayor, I’ll be open, transparent, and accountable. I’ll end closed-door decision-making, empower community boards, ensure your voice is heard – and bring much-needed financial discipline to the mayoralty.

“I’ll back projects that deliver value for our community – but if something doesn’t stack up, I won’t support it. With experience in both the public and private sectors – including running my own business, leading an NGO, and working in a Cabinet Minister’s office – I offer the fresh leadership Kāpiti needs now.”

All candidates are offered the opportunity to submit a profile and photo for the position they are standing for.
