Hey team As someone that believes in democracy and our political processes, last night I phoned and congratulated Todd McClay and the National Party with their strong win. New Zealanders have voted and I respect that. Over 10,000 people voted for me and to every person that had the confidence in me to do the job, I thank you – your support lifts me up. I still maintain that Rotorua needs growth and from that growth, jobs because too many of our shops and local businesses are shutting down and too many of our people are moving overseas for opportunities. Now that Rotorua has 3 MPs looking after us, I look forward to watching them work together to solve the various problems that we, as a region, face. I’m going to take some time out, because running for Parliament takes a lot out of you. I’m not sure what lies ahead for me, but as an educated young Maori man with long bucket list and an incredibly supportive partner, I know we’ll be OK. I’m so proud of the campaign that we’ve run. It got attention from all around the country. It would have been nothing without commitment from my supporters, signwavers, pamphlet deliverers, volunteers and most of all a tight campaign team. My motto all along was, to win, but to have fun doing it. I didn’t get the win this time, but we sure had fun doing it. Tamati
