John Cronin (New Zealand politician)

John Michael Cronin MNZM is a New Zealand politician. As of 2008^[update] he is the chairperson of the Bay of Plenty regional council,^[1] one of four councillors elected by the city of Tauranga. Previously, he has sought election to Parliament — in the 1993 election, he was the National Party's candidate to win the Tauranga electorate back from former National MP Winston Peters,^[2] and in the 1996 election, he led the small Superannuitants and Youth Action party and stood in the Waitakere electorate.^[3] He was not successful in either attempt.

Cronin is one of the proponents of the proposed move of the regional council offices from Whakatāne, to a green field site in Tauranga, a move expected to cost ratepayers over NZ$23 million.^[1]

He was awarded MNZM in the 2009 New Year Honours, for services to local body affairs and the community.^[4]
