LUCAS Cherry - Candidate profile
Affiliation: Independent
My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area.
I’m currently Deputy Mayor, Deputy Chair of the Finance and CCO Committee, and Council’s representative on the Mosgiel Taieri Community Board. I also serve on several local organisations, including Tūhura Otago Museum (Deputy Chair) and the Otago Farmers Market Board. I’m a qualified RMA Commissioner and accountant with experience in public accounting and senior management.
I’m known for my hard work, common sense, and ability to collaborate. I work well with people and am proud to have earned the respect of both Council and our wider community.
I’m committed to financial transparency, affordability, and advocating for the best possible hospital for Dunedin. I believe the Council's role is to create the conditions for communities to thrive and that’s where I can make the greatest impact. I’m not running for Mayor. I’m running to continue making change where it matters most. There’s still more work to do.
