Hers was the only nomination and received unanimous backing from the local party organisation last night, the chair of
the Labour Electorate Committee, Ruth Chapman said.

recognise the excellent work she has done by returning her to Parliament," Ruth Chapman said.
Marian Hobbs said she is looking forward to a vigorous election campaign.
"I am proud to have been a voice for Wellington in this government," Marian Hobbs said. "We have kept our promises and
we are making a positive difference in people's lives. There is much more to be achieved and I look forward to
continuing to be a part of it.
"I am a firm believer in democracy and relish the opportunity to stake my record against all comers."
