The first-term councillor has been confirmed as the Liberal candidate for lord mayor and Youth Council chairperson Rochelle Manning will be the party's lead nominee in ward one. They will join previously announced candidates councillor Jenny Barrie in ward two and Matt Bailey in ward three. Cr Pull will also recontest ward four.
