It’s that time again...local elections are on the horizon, and the Waikato Chamber is bringing the business community face-to-face with the city’s top mayoral contenders!
Join us for the Hamilton City Mayoral Debate, where you’ll hear directly from Sarah Thomson, Tim Macindoe, Rachel Karalus and Maria Huata as they share their vision for Hamilton’s future.
This year’s debate will be facilitated by prominent businessman and media personality Mark Bunting, guiding a conversation focused on the issues that matter to our business community.
To help shape the direction of the debate, when you register, you’ll receive a link to share a question you would like put to the candidates.

If time permits, there’ll also be a chance to ask questions live during the event.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be informed, engaged, and part of the conversation shaping Hamilton’s future.
