Napier City Council incumbent Annette Brosnan says she values environmental sustainability above all else.
Having grown up as the daughter of a Department of Conservation worker, Brosnan's portfolio and background in environmental regulation gives her a passion for environmental projects for the city.
"Climate change is so poignant for Napier," she said.
"75 per cent of our stormwater or the rain, needs to be pumped, and it's pumped into one of our local estuaries, so we're really conscious of the effects of climate change on Napier."
