Give my salary to the community
This is the latest statement from Mayoral Candidate Jevan Goulter, If elected Jevan has opted not to receive the mayoral
salary of around $80,000 a year “I do not want it or need it when I know that there are plenty of other communities in
the city that need this money more than myself”.
Jevan Goulter is challenging each Mayoral Candidate in Wanganui who have other means of income to take up the same
pledge to the public.
“Every other Mayoral Candidate has other means of income and I think that they would agree that the community need the
mayoral salary more than they do or will, it also shows that the position of Mayor really will mean working for the
people”
Jevan believes it really is about working for the people and not working for your own political agenda which is what has
brought on this public announcement.
“There are so many deserving groups in our community who are under privileged and not sufficiently funded so I truly
believe it would be wrong for me to draw a personal salary when I simply am standing to be elected to serve the people”.
Jevan hopes that other mayoral candidates will take this same pledge to the city of Wanganui, showing and proving to
voters and residents that they really do care about the community.
"So Dot, Phillipa, Annette and Ray, will you make the same pledge to the Wanganui voters ?"
