New Brighton resident Caleb Isaacs, 28, launched his campaign last week, joining three other candidates who have already declared their intentions. Candidate nominations for the $65,000 by-election opened this month after former Coastal Ward city councillor James Daniels resigned in May in favour of a new role at NewstalkZB. Other candidates are Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairman Kelly Barber, New Brighton Residents Association chairwoman Celeste Donovan, and former city councillor David East. Although he did not grow up in the area, the east was the place he chose to live.
