Hello, I’m Paul Williams, and I am proud to announce my candidacy for Mayor of Waimakariri in the upcoming elections. With over 50 years of experience in the business world, I have successfully owned and managed multiple businesses, gaining a wealth of knowledge that spans various sectors.

My passion for motorsport and classic cars not only fuels my enthusiasm but also sharpens my strategic thinking and decision-making skills. The excitement of the racetrack reflects my approach to business—driven, competitive, and always forward-looking.

Together with my wife, Sue, of 40 years, I call Waimakariri home. This community holds a special place in my heart, and I am committed to advocating for its residents. A pressing issue I aim to address is the rising cost of living, particularly the skyrocketing rates that burden many families. I believe it is essential for us to work together to find sustainable solutions.

My mission is to create a future in Waimakariri where families can thrive without the weight of overwhelming expenses. I am dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in our region, and I promise to be approachable and transparent in my decision-making.

I am excited about the positive changes we can achieve as a strong team. With professionalism and care, I remain dedicated to serving the people of Waimakariri
