The National Party has confirmed Scott Simpson as its Coromandel candidate for the 2023 General Election.

'We live in a beautiful part of the country, but like much of provincial New Zealand we have been neglected by this government,” says Simpson.

'I'll continue to advocate for our region as I campaign to represent the Coromandel electorate again in 2023.

'I don't take anything for granted in politics and I know the 2023 election will feature a challenging campaign. We desperately need a change in Government and National will be putting forward sensible policies which work for everyday Kiwis.

'The last few years have been turbulent to say the least and it's going to take a lot of hard work to get the country going in the right direction.

'‘If National has the privilege to be elected, we have a massive turnaround job ahead of us. A National-led government will have a laser focus on getting things done.”
Scott Simpson was first elected Coromandel MP in 2011.

He served as a Minister outside cabinet before the formation of the Labour-led coalition and he is currently the National Party Spokesperson for the Environment and Climate Change, as well as the Associate Spokesperson for Transport.
