Masterton farmer Mike Butterick has been selected by the National Party as its candidate for the Wairarapa electorate in this year’s General Election.
Mr Butterick said he was standing for National because it’s the only party that can strengthen our economy so we can reduce the cost of living, lift incomes, restore law and order, build infrastructure and deliver better health and education and the only party with the ability to actually deliver.
Butterick was National’s candidate for the electorate in the 2020 election.
