Dear
Next Saturday you have the opportunity to vote for a new MP for Christchurch East. I am backing my candidate Matthew Doocey and I hope you will too.
Matthew is clearly the best candidate, and he’s standing for a Party that’s focused on the things that matter, like jobs, growth and the rebuild.
He was born and raised in Christchurch. He is committed to raising his own family here and he wants the best for you, your family and the entire Christchurch East community.
Matthew Doocey will be a strong voice for you inside my Government as we rebuild Christchurch; a massive undertaking. I understand many households are overcoming big challenges. But after on of our largest natural disasters and more than 11,000 after-shocks, we’re on the right track. We have made the rebuild a priority, investing:

  • $15 billion into the rebuild
  • $600 million into new hospital facilities
  • $1 billion into school renewal
  • $3.8 billion into major projects to boost confidence and create jobs
  • $260 million into Canterbury University.

We are working hard for you and getting results, including:

  • Economic growth across the region of 6.6%
  • Falling unemployment
  • A crime rate that’s 20% lower than before the earthquakes.

If you support strong, stable leadership that makes the rebuild a priority and stays focused on jobs, growth and stronger public services for all Christchurch families, I am asking that you give your support to Matthew Doocey on 30 November.
Yours sincerely
John Key
Rt. Hon John Key
Prime Minister

Hi, it’s Leighton Baker here.
Now it’s your turn to choose.
Our democratic process is far from perfect but it is still a great system.
So get involved and have your say about who you would choose to coordinate recovery in the East.
Whether it’s Leighton standing for democracy, transparency, and cooperation, or any of the other great candidates, get out on Saturday and make your vote count.
Christchurch East is a unique part of the city where only minutes from home, people can be walking on a wind-swept beach, or biking over soft needles in a forest.
It’s a lifestyle only a few get to enjoy, and those who do enjoy it, have every right to protect it.
Although the earthquakes have been a terrible tragedy, they have also brought out tenacity, innovation, compassion, and cooperation to a level we have rarely seen before.
I would love to help connect all these areas so that the Christchurch East recovery is not based on government dictums or handouts, but by the community as a whole, meeting each other’s needs.
Thank you for your support.
Leighton Baker- Christchurch East Candidate.

Who is this man?
Well you have heard the name…Leighton Baker.
He has got one wife, four children, two grandchildren and a brand new knee. Leighton is a firm believer that the quality of your life is directly related to the quality of your relationships, and that is why family is so important. It is a driving motivation behind the Conservative Party’s family-friendly policies.
He has been a self-employed builder for twenty five years and has a team of top guys working for him. He has spent six and a half years tutoring teenagers who were struggling at school and saw a 95% success rate of those guys finding work. That’s why he is passionate about seeing the education sector embracing trades training to be as important as tertiary education, in allowing all students to find success in their strengths.
Leighton was enjoying a bit of motor sport when the rally car he was co-driving hit a tree at 120kph, which means two things:
1. He’s not that great a co-drivers and…
2. He needed a new knee.
Leighton really enjoys building but sees an urgent need for a change of culture in government from dictatorial and oppositional to democratic and inclusive, and hopes to be part of that change.
“With my children and Grandchildren living here, I have a vested interest in seeing New Zealand as a leading nation. A nation that others can aspire to, and learn from. This can only happen as we value people, work together, and have a strong foundation.”

Still not seen this Christchurch Rebuilder?
Hi I am Leighton Baker from the Conservative Party.
I have been getting around meeting people, hearing stories, and formulating a game plan for the East rejuvenation.
After twenty five years in the building industry, it is obvious to me that the East’s recovery is not down to a ‘one person’ or ‘one group’ activity. A collaborative approach by people passionate about the area is what’s required.
In building, the main contractor is really a coordinator ensuring that the project is on task, on budget, and everyone can monitor progress.
It is this transparent and inclusive approach that will progress the East’s recovery.
You may have noticed some of our billboard. So vote for me we will have a party!
Go Conservative!
Leighton Baker – A guy who’s keen to see everyone succeed.

Have you seen this Christchurch Rebuilder?
He is a 47 year old builder who has been self-employed for 23 years, and has worked with EQC, EQR, and insurance companies. He has seen a lot of the system failures and would relish the opportunity to make the system fairer, quicker, and more customer focussed, because he loves helping people achieve their goals.
His name is Leighton Baker and he is standing as a Conservative Candidate in the Christchurch East By-Election.
Why on earth should you vote for Leighton?
Great question, and we hope over the next few weeks to give you some compelling reasons why Leighton is the best person to take Christchurch East into rebuild, and why you should vote Conservative.
HE WAS HERE! After the September Earthquakes, Leighton and his team were in the East, doing emergency repairs, digging long drops, and securing people’s houses. His wife co-ordinated a laundry team with ladies from Canterbury, washing and drying clothes to be delivered back to those without power and water. His son and daughter were involved with the Rangiora Express, cooking and delivering meals to the East.
Come to the New Brighton Market on Saturday morning (2nd November) if you would like to meet Leighton, have a chat, bounce some ideas, or just make suggestions.

Leighton BAKER
CANDIDATE FOR Christchurch East By-Election
I am a 47 year old builder who has been self-employed for 23 years, and I have worked with EQC, EQR, and insurance companies. I have seen a lot of the system failures and would relish the opportunity to make the system fairer, quicker, and more customer focussed, because I enjoy helping people achieve their goals.
Why on earth would you vote for anyone else when a vote for Leighton would tick so many boxes for you?
Local
Great family values
A true kiwi bloke
A collaborative approach and a genuine desire to listen to this community
PLEASE FOR FOR LEIGHTON BAKER
Standing up for you and your family in Christchurch East.
E: leighton.baker@conservativeparty.org.nz
M: 021 361 879
W: www.conservativeparty.org.nz

LEIGHTON’S APPROACH
My approach is to work alongside existing local community and business groups, to hear your ideas and grasp your vision for the future of our community.
I recently took a building team to Cambodia to work with a displaced people group. It became very evident that too often outsiders enter a community and tell the community what they need, rather than listen to find out what they really need.
Those that live, work, and play in the East, are the best ones to decide their community’s future, and my role would be to support and implement their designs.
The East has an abundance of reasons to live there;
Our beautiful beach
Our serene forest
Great proximity to town
Let’s enhance and revitalise this magnificent suburb together.

I WAS HERE
After the September Earthquakes, my team and I were in the East, carrying out repairs, digging long drops, and securing people’s houses.
My wife co-ordinated a laundry team with ladies from Canterbury, washing and drying clothes to be delivered back to those without power and water.
My son and daughter were involved with the Rangiora Express, cooking and delivering meals to the East.

WE BELIEVE
We believe that the wisdom of 3 million Kiwi voters is greater than 121 politicians in Wellington. We support binding referenda, where the Government must follow citizens’ directives when 67% of votes cast, support the proposal.
Let’s keep our assets.
Let’s develop our potential.
Let’s lead, not follow.
Less Government interference.
More personal responsibility.
One law, one people, one nation.

STANDING UP FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
