John Cronin (New Zealand)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Cronin is a New Zealand politician. He is currently the chairperson of the Bay of Plenty's regional council, being one of four councillors elected by the city of Tauranga. Previously, he has sought election to Parliament — in the 1993 elections, he was the National Party's candidate to win the Tauranga seat back from former National MP Winston Peters, and in the 1996 elections, he led the small Superannuitants and Youth Action party. He was not successful in either attempt.
