Phil Mauger For Mayor

- The change we need!


Phil Mauger is running for the Christchurch mayoralty in 2022 as an independent candidate.

Widely applauded for bringing a fresh style and a no-nonsense, can-do attitude to the Council table, Mauger will bring a sensible and practical approach to the Christchurch City Council and a reputation for getting stuff done.

In the past two years, as city councillor for Burwood, Phil has fought to get the basics right – such as fixing roads, maintaining parks and looking after the vulnerable in our community – while pushing the Council to be more careful with its spending and reduce its rate rises. And where he can, he has got on with the job himself.

“I’ve heard and shared the frustrations of Christchurch people. The last two years have shown me that it is possible to make change – and change for the better.

I’m keen to step up and make sure that we get the right stuff done and that all of us in Christchurch benefit.”

  • Keep rates affordable and reduce debt
