[TITLE] Francisco Hernandez Campaign Video
[MUSIC PLAYS]
[SPOKEN] My name is Francisco Hernandez and I’m running for the Dunedin City Council. I’m asking for your first preference vote because I’ve got the skills, vision, and proven leadership to create a better Dunedin. Through my work here, as OUSA President, as a University Council member, business director, and community volunteer, I have overseen multi-million dollar budgets, and prioritised resources effectively to deliver value for my constituents. I have a proven track record of leadership. I lead the efforts to draft minimum housing standards in Dunedin which will phase out cold, damp and unhealthy housing in Dunedin. I negotiated improvements to Dunedin’s buses through clearer timetabling, better journey planning, and a trial tertiary student discount. I’ve worked hard to involve students with the wider community through increasing student volunteering by facilitating more ways that students can get involved and signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Dunedin City Council which gives students a place at the table. I work with the wider community to stop the liquor ban by implementing constructive alternatives that have real solutions to alcohol harm. We need to work on retaining graduates in Dunedin by working with the University and Polytechnic to harness the skills of our young people by creating clusters of innovation, and employment in the city. I will encourage Council to roll out the read carpet for Dunedin’s new citizens, students and migrants so that we feel welcome, and stay here. I’m asking you to vote one for Francisco Hernandez because I have the skills, proven leadership, and vision to realise our city’s full potential and make this a better Dunedin.
