Vicki Buck
Vicki Susan Buck (born 1955/6) was Mayor of Christchurch, New Zealand for nine years from 1989. She retired after three terms, having been very popular. She successfully attempted a political comeback, standing in the 2013 local elections in the Riccarton-Wigram ward as councillor for Christchurch City Council, being returned with the highest number of votes across all city wards. She subsequently accepted the role of deputy mayor.
==Political life==
Buck was first elected to Christchurch City Council in a by-election in May 1975 standing for the Labour Party at the age of 19, which made her the youngest city councillor in New Zealand at the time. Despite her youth, she soon made an impact around the council table and attracted the attention of news media. A 1978 reshuffle of council committee chairmanships resulted in the proposal of Buck taking over the Community Services Committee, but this was blocked by Mayor Hamish Hay and his colleagues on the Citizens ticket.〔 She was one of five Local Government Commissioners working from 1984 to 1989 on a major reorganisation of local government in New Zealand.
Buck became the city's first woman mayor in 1989. She stood for mayor as an independent. An active and vigorous leader, she is widely credited with leading a turnaround in the perception of Christchurch as a city.
Her sister Sally Buck had been an elected councillor for Christchurch City Council since 1998, but retired from the city council in October 2013 after five terms.
