Holly Chappell-Eason: Papanui Innes Community Board

17/10/2019

Final Results are in!

I didn't get elected to the Community Board but I got over 1000 votes which I am really happy with!

I will definitely run again next election - I learnt so much from running this time!

Thank you to everyone who supported me, voted for me, helped me!

Even though I wasn't elected I am still going to spend the next 3 years making Christchurch and awesome place to live- and encouraging young people to get politically active!!

Love ###

Voting closes in 15 minutes! All my fence signs are down, flyers out- and now we wait to hear the results! Whatever the outcome I have learnt so much through running for community board.

I want to thank everyone who has helped me, my lovely students who delivered fliers and walked our dog, my friend Jamie for all of his incredible advice, and mentorship, everyone who let me put a sign on their fence and sent me encouraging messages, my wonderful Mum- who is always my biggest supporter and my lovely husband and son who have done so much work and cheerleading!

Regardless of the outcome I am going to spend the next 3 years trying to excite young people into voting- 38% voter turn out is very scary and our young people could completely change the face of local politics!

Much love ###x

VOTE VOTE VOTE!

So many young people I know don’t vote for local government- but it’s the area that the biggest change can be made- Your daily life is affected by the choices made by our local government!

Read your voting booklet, search people’s policies and send you voting paper away by Tuesday 8th October!

THIS IS VERY COOL!

Christchurch Youth Council have made this awesome resource! They sent out a survey and have everyone's answers here!

Disappointed more candidates didn't complete the questionnaire! And most didn't answer what type of animal they would be!!

Check out this amazing resource from The Spinoff they have gone through everyone running for local council and published if they are a believer in climate change!

I am super proud to want to be advocating for climate change action!

VOTE! Make a difference!

Josie Adams, Hayden Donnell, and Alice Webb-Liddall read thousands of policy statements to find the climate change deniers, fudgers, prevaricators (and believers) running in our local elections. The Spinoff local election coverage is made possible thanks to The Spinoff Members. For more about
