NICOLA GRIGG looks a good fit for<br />

retiring <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy Adams (see pages<br />

9,10,11).<br />

Adams and her National predeccesors<br />

have had a stranglehold on the electorate<br />

for a long, long time.<br />

Grigg may have more challenges with the recent boundary<br />

changes and the changing demographic in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district.<br />

But she’s odds-on to retain the seat for National in next year’s<br />

election, in my humble - and unbiased - view anyway.<br />

Grigg popped into the office last week. She’s a very affable<br />

individual, with a good brain, good sense of humour and she<br />

knows the political system, inside and out.<br />

She was also a journalist in a previous life, before being press<br />

secretary for Bill English.<br />

So she must be good!<br />
