Candidate statement

I am proud to have called Palmerston North my home for over 40 years. I've found PN a caring and supportive community, an ideal place to raise a family, develop a career and enjoy the cultural, sporting and educational opportunities available. Things change, but I want PN to remain a place that values community and business, and encourages sustainable growth.

Decisions made at Council affect people every day. My experience in business, representing Manawatu on the sports field, trustee of a community charity and volunteer for St Johns at our hospital, has given me a rounded understanding of our community and what is important to them.

I value the importance of making sensible decisions in a way that brings people together. With a heart for families, community, and our future growth, you will be proud of your choice to vote Mark Gunning for Council.
