A high-profile Kiwi sex worker is running for Mayor of Hamilton saying she wants to challenge the "small minded" thinking of the current elected officials. Lisa Lewis, who rose to fame after streaking during an All Blacks match in , said in a social media post she decided to give local body politics a crack stating current councillors and the mayor were "unfair to the many diverse cultures, religions, choices and conventional communities". At the top of Lewis' list of campaign promises was an indoor skate park, citing the rise of scootering popularity in New Zealand.
She also advocated for CBD parking, a "dog friendly city" with "poop the scoop" bags attached to rubbish bins in parks, fireworks restrictions and supporting the one-way door policy at central city bars between 2am and 3am.
Lewis launched a Givealittle page on Sunday to raise funds for her campaign. Lewis first hit headlines when she streaked during an All Blacks match against Ireland in Hamilton in After being a stripper, high-priced escort and topless newsreader, Lewis took up boxing in when she squared up against Mexican-American professional boxer Mia St John at the Trusts Arena.
