A third contender has put up his hand to be the leader of Auckland’s super city.
Erik Taylor describes himself as a 56-year-old Christian who has worked as a teacher and in sales and marketing.
Auckland City mayor John Banks and Manukau mayor Len Brown are the other confirmed candidates.
























I googled him. He got a massive 29 votes in the 2005 elections when he stood as an independent in Mt Albert. I’m astonished this is even news.
What does that suggest Hamish, probably that he will get more votes than the other two contenders! What Auckland needs is an inspirational visionary who can make something good happen.
