[wlug] Researching information on local body candidates

Hi everybody I am researching information on local body election candidates, concentrating on sustainable environmental and social policies. I am particularly interested in the track record of councillors who are standing again. It is proving difficult to extract information from the Waikato Regional Council website, though the Hamilton City Council one is much better. Would anybody like to share their expertise on ferreting information from websites, and for gathering relevant information from public sources on websites, social media and anywhere. Or do you know anybody who ma be willing to share their skills. Any help much appreciated. Rod
