Barbara Kuriger
It was thumbs up from Barbara Kuriger on Saturday night.
The National Party MP enters her fourth term after being re-elected to the Taranaki-King Country seat.
The MP was at a low-key gathering at Fahrenheit in Te Awamutu – surrounded by husband Louis, campaign staff and some close friends on election night.
She described it as an “exciting evening” in stark contrast to 2020 when National candidates had far less success.
Kuriger has been in politics for nine years. She was a backbencher in John Key’s National-led Government, and has been in opposition for the past six.
