Todd Talks With Todd Muller National MP

Easter is a time when I like to give thanks. To focus on the positives, rather than
the negatives.

Being able to spend this four-day weekend with my loved ones is something I am thankful for. I'm also thankful to live in such a beautiful location in the Bay of Plenty, where we are blessed with an incredibly strong social support network.

Selfless

As a Member of Parliament I've helped people navigate difficulties in their lives, usually involving government departments. It's been rewarding to help them solve issues by cutting through red tape and bureaucracy. Connecting constituents with the right people to assist them is what my team and I find satisfying.

But there are many people whose problems don't quite fit the pathways of the public service. This is where our volunteers and social support agencies come to the fore. Their selfless, dedicated and non-judgmental service means so much to those they help.

So that's the focus of my Autumn Community Newsletter that went out to every household in the electorate this week. A celebration of the good sorts in our community with whom I've connected over the last few months. You can read it online at www.toddmuller.co.nz/news.

Many others

There are many others I've dealt with over the years and a summary of community service providers is at www.toddmuller.co.nz/community. If you know of other local good sorts, please let me know so I can include them too.

Best wishes for a lovely Easter and I hope to see you out and about at one of the many events happening during the long weekend.
