Two videos about Wanganui mayoral candidate John Martin have been seen by approximately 1600 people on the worldwide internet showcase You Tube.Mr Martin says the short videos, by award-winning Wanganui filmmaker Costas
Thrasyvoulou, are intended to inject some life and humour into the election campaign. “I’ve been getting lots of good feedback,” he says. Acclaimed local film-maker, Costas was thrilled to have the opportunity to get involved and support John Martin creatively.
On Saturday September 29 Mr Martin and his wife Brenda will be taking their message to shoppers by opening a “mayoral office” in Majestic Square from 10am-noon. “Wanganui people were promised a downtown mayoral office as part of the Vision campaign three years ago but it never eventuated. However, if elected I will be a mayor who listens to what people have to say and I hope they will come along on Saturday to meet me and discuss the issues that are important to them.”
The videos, which are under four minutes long, can be seen by following the links on the sidebar under 'See John Martin'.
