Hamilton candidate woos youth vote

From Morning Report, 6:16 am on 30 September 2019

A 26-year old, social-media savvy woman could give the front-runners in Hamilton's mayoral campaign a fright, as her message connects with young voters in particular. There are eight candidates wanting to be Hamilton's mayor - three appearing to be current front-runners, incumbent Andrew King, and councillors, Angela O'Leary and Paula Southgate. The others bring a mix of skills including an engineering business owner, a sex worker, a former police officer, a CEO of a social enterprise electricity company and a veteran campaigner who's not adverse to a few gimmicks at campaign meetings. Our Waikato reporter Andrew McRae is covering the story.
