After running for Labour in the Tauranga electorate at the last general election, Jan Tinetti came second to winner Simon Bridges.
Despite not winning the electorate, Tinetti placed 15th on Labour's party list and has been a backbench MP for the last three years.
Tinetti will be hoping for a closer race this time round though, but after Bridges won by more than 11,000 votes last time, she'll need a massive swing to roll the ex-National leader.
