Campbell to chase ECan seat
• By Jess Gibson
OUTSPOKEN politician Aaron
Campbell will not be running
for the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
in October.
Instead, he will stand for
ECan’s West-Ōpuna seat in
the local body elections, which
covers the Halswell, Hornby,
Waimairi and Harewood wards.
He told The Star on Thursday
he would stand for both ECan
and the board but has now
said he will only run for ECan
because the city council does
not allow a person to stand for
both.
Mr Campbell said the
restriction has given him more
motivation to get elected to
ECan. “It will be slightly easier
to campaign for one position,”
he said.
Mr Campbell said regardless
of the result, he would remain
“deeply invested in the
community.”
“If I do or don’t get on I will
certainly carry on with being
involved in the community in
some way,” he said.
Mr Campbell is a founding
member of Aotearoa Water
Action, the non-profit
organisation taking High Court
action against ECan and its

seat – but he said the problems
ECan is dealing with are “much
bigger” than what the city
council is dealing with.
“[ECan] is where I can
contribute the most,” he said.
He will campaign as an
independent.
ELECTION BID: Commercial
water bottling critic Aaron
Campbell will stand for
ECan in the October local
body elections.
Mr Campbell said if he is
elected he will “step back” from
the table if any conflicts of
interest arise and he would not
vote if a decision involved AWA.
“I don’t see my position on
AWA inhibiting my ability to
run for ECan. In fact, I think it’s
more favourable because people
know where I stand,” he said.
“Politicians can be members
of a number of groups as long as
they declare that interest.”
“I’m not making money or
losing money for [AWA], it’s
purely from a community
perspective that I’m interested
and I’m committed on that
front.”
He said he will continue to
focus on water as it is “this
election’s hot-button issue.”
“From water bottling
to degradation of rivers,
Cantabrians are saying enough,”
he said.
