Details
DescriptionPrinted in greyscale in a 'Leader' advertisement on August 30, 1995, and later.
The caption was 'Vote Pat Christianson for mayor. .' followed below the picture with '…A cut above the rest.' with the Eclipse Hair Design logo and telephone number below.
There was at least one coloured advertisement, on September 6, and 'Mum For Mayor' ads picturing two daughters and a son.
She got 19.2% of the votes cast.
The November 22 'Leader' said the election of deputy mayor had been stormy; Nicola Meek had polled highest, but was not nominated; Rex Kirton had proposed Hilda Billington, but was defeated; Patricia Christianson was elected, by one vote.
An editorial following a lot of correspondence following the vote pointed out that the 'Team Upper Hutt' group had promised to work as a team, and calls for them to disband were unjustified; and it was their team's nominee who was elected.
The January 3, 1996 'Leader' said she had scored top marks in part one arbitration examinations, and been nominated for the Arbitrators' Institute W E Tompkins award.
This picture was reprinted on March 7, 2001 in an International Women's Day 'Working Women' feature; Pat was there as chairwoman of the board of the Wellington Sinfonia (now Orchestra Wellington).
