Local Focus asked four Tauranga candidates what the biggest issue facing the electorate is today.
National's Simon Bridges says growth is the biggest issue facing Tauranga and that he has a serious plan for "dealing with the transport, for building more homes, and making this a better place to live".
Labour candidate Jan Tinetti said the biggest issue is the Covid-19 response.
"Just like New Zealand's leading the rest of the world, I want to see Tauranga leading New Zealand in the economic recovery."
