Eagle endorsed by left and right

The worst kept secret in Wellington ended this week with Rongotai MP (and former Deputy Mayor) announcing he will run for Mayor of Wellington. I was interested in a couple of tweets.

Fleur Fitzsimons is one of the most left leaning Councillors and Diane Calvert is very much on the opposite side politically to her. Quite remarkable to have both of them endorse Paul Eagle. That would suggest he is seen as someone who can work with a Council made up of very different views.
