Profile statement: (Supplied)
My name is John Blackwell and I was born, raised and work here in Kaipara all my life. I farm with my family on 1850-acre sheep and beef farm. My governance history, Ruawai College chairman, Northland beef Council chairman, Beef & Lamb Northland farmers Council chairman, Kaipara district Councillor, 5 years as Northland Federated farmers President and Northland field days treasurer.
I am re-standing for Northland Regional Council to build on the work we have done which includes a sound working relationship with many members of parliament.
What I would bring to the table is an understanding of Northland economy, the need for our state highways to be improved, Northland flooding, fresh water challenges and the huge issues with weeds and pests we are facing in Northland. I am a supporter of rates capping, not empire building.
I support the democratic processors of New Zealand.
