Auckland Central National Party Candidate Emma Mellow had a busier August than most, starting the month with an engagement party and finishing campaigning for the seat in alert level 3.
The engagement party for the banking communications professional, was originally planned for April but, due to Covid-19, it was delayed.
"It was a very special night celebrating with our family and friends at Pilkingtons," says Mellow, also pointing out it fell in the middle of the Auckland Central selection race after Nikki Kaye announced her retirement.
"Nikki has been a friend and mentor of mine for 12 years. She's been a remarkable MP and I'll be working hard to build on her legacy. On the first day of my campaign, we visited local businesses on Ponsonby Rd together and she's giving me a lot of advice. I'm also lucky to have the full support of her team."
