Queenstown council aspirant Esther Whitehead has had dealings with the organisation through her various community roles, and advised it in a professional capacity.
Now she reckons it’s time to work on the inside.
Whitehead, 45, has joined former councillor and retired lawyer Phil Wilson in contesting June’s by-election for the seat left vacant by John MacDonald’s resignation last month.
She tells
Mountain Scene she’s long thought about running, and been prodded to do so by others.
Changes in her working life mean she’s now got the time to devote to the role.
