Candidate on the corner

National's Bay of Plenty candidate Todd Muller is taking his campaign to the corner of more than 50 streets in the electorate to engage voters for this year's general election.

This weekend the former Fonterra executive will start the first of 54 street corner meetings stretching from Papamoa to Omokoroa to take place on both Saturday and Sunday over next three weeks to September 20.


National MP Todd Muller will be on the corner of 54 streets answering questions from the residents in the lead up to September 20.

'This is a wonderful opportunity for me to connect directly with voters and for them to reach me,” says Todd Muller.

'These meetings have long been a National Party tradition in the electorate and I am very excited about them. It's very informal, and enables people to turn up in their own backyard, instead of having to travel to a hall.”

The Te Puna-raised candidate is expecting crowds of anywhere between two and 50 people to attend.

He is unsure what questions he will encounter, but if his previous meetings with more than 8000 residents is anything to go by, the economy, dirty politics and how he can meet the needs of the local community will be the top of the list.

'I think people are generally disheartened by the Dirty Politics, and think it's a distraction. I think a focus on the economy, confidence in the Tauranga market and how we can continue to create jobs.”

The first meeting is at 11.30am this Saturday at Caffeine Corner of Palm Springs Blvd and Papamoa Beach Rd.

Good luck Todd Muller. By far and away the best candidate for Bay of Plenty. Meetings I've attended show him as a person with a passion to follow on from Tony Ryall, focussing on BOP issues and not getting caught up in other parties discrediting tactics.
