Former candidates who have declined a run this time

Latest comment: 2 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Looking for advice about where we draw the line for inclusion under 'Declined to be candidates' (perhaps @Pokelova can tell me?).

In 2019 Louise Hutt ran for mayor and council, unsuccessfully on both counts. This time she's running for council only. Does she warrant inclusion?

Is there a source that specifically describes her as not running for mayor? --Pokelova (talk) 04:18, 4 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Best I can find is http://www.voxy.co.nz/politics/5/405343 - "Running for council (not the mayoralty this time) allows Hutt to focus on Hamilton West" Elguaponz (talk) 05:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Good enough for me 🤷‍♀️ --Pokelova (talk) 05:29, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
