Can I thank those people who sat on our local electorate committee during my time: Lynne Renouf; John Grundy; Jenny Dawson and her husband, Jim McAloon; Ken Douglas; Phil Major; Sheryn Elborn; Mark James; and many more. I also want to thank those who helped me at the very outset: Shane Laulu, Litea Ah Hoi, the late Murdo MacMillan, our Wellington power-broker Paul Tolich, and John Ryall. John, I know you're going through health challenges; the Labour whānau sends our love to you and yours.
