It was a challenging campaign for the Southland electorate, but they handled it with aplomb, and I particularly want to thank my campaign chair, Jeff Grant, who stepped up to lead the campaign when I was selected. I also want to thank each and every member of the campaign team, and all the hard-working volunteers who gave of their time freely because they believe the National Party will deliver the best for the people of my region and of this country. I want to acknowledge the Young Nats, who I know are watching tonight—their help was invaluable—and also acknowledge the president and the board members who are here this evening. I also want to acknowledge and thank the Hon Judith Collins, who stepped up to lead our party and our campaign at short notice, and did a sterling job of doing so.
