The Horizons by-election

Horizons, my local regional council, is having a by-election after someone died mid-term. There's only a small number of candidates running compared to the regular election, and almost all of them are at least paying lip-service to the interests of urban voters and say they want to clean up the river. So who are the options?

• Chris Teo-Sherrell: former city councillor and environmental advocate, actually involved in the fight to clean up the Manawatu River, so he's the default candidate for people who actually want that done. Believes Comic Sans is an appropriate font to use on an election sign though.
  
• Jono Naylor: Former Palmerston North mayor and National Party MP. Which means he probably can't be trusted on environmental issues. Throw in his corrupt behaviour as mayor (he laundered the identity of his chief donor through a trust, which hid it long enough for him to vote for them on an extremely lucrative plan change), and he's pretty much on my list of people never to vote for.
  
• Jack Dowds: Lots of local government experience, made the right noises about water quality, might be OK.
  
• Grant Seton: Who?
  
• Ross Barber: Convicted child-beater and anti-1080 nutter who is on-record as saying that he is god, emperor and land-lord and can print money. Says that everyone else is mad, but is subject to a court order that he is unfit to control his own affairs, and thus ineligible to take the seat in the unlikely event that he is elected. Last time he was outpolled by blank ballots, and that'll probably happen again.
  

Given this lineup, I think my choice is clear.
