An open letter to the residents of <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />

I’m writing to introduce myself and seek your support in electing me as your next Member of Parliament.<br />

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and the economic crisis it has caused, <strong>Selwyn</strong> needs an<br />

experienced, energetic, empathetic representative - and we urgently need to return to a National<br />

Government to get New Zealand working again.<br />

I’ve worked as journalist and an export trade specialist, a communications manager for large tourism<br />

companies and a jack of all trades for small start ups. I grew up on a sheep and beef farm here in this<br />

region and I spent nearly four years working for the previous National Government - three years as Press<br />

Secretary to Rt Hon Sir Bill English as Minister of Finance and as Prime Minister.<br />

All those experiences have taught me how crucial it is for our families and businesses to be<br />

supported with frameworks that allow them to get ahead.<br />

With our current local MP Amy Adams moving from <strong>Selwyn</strong> to the National Party list, our electorate<br />

needs another strong voice in Parliament to continue advocating for the critical infrastructure and<br />

investment our rapidly growing communities need to realise our ambition.<br />

It would be my privilege to serve you.<br />

Kind regards<br />

Nicola Grigg<br />

National Party Candidate for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
