"I'm grateful for the support the National Party has shown in reselecting me as a candidate for the 2020 election.
"Since I was elected in 2017 I've worked hard to ensure that Mid Canterbury has a strong voice in Parliament, and if I'm re-elected next year I'll continue to do that.
"The present Government are far too focused on listening to the wishes of Auckland and not enough on ensuring that districts like ours succeed.
"The water reforms they've proposed will put huge costs on the agricultural sector and regional communities, while letting the major centres off the hook.
"I'll continue to fight for our fair share of infrastructure spending.
"Phil Twyford's decision to cut $5 billion from the state highway network means that places like Ashburton are missing out on important roading upgrades and maintenance.
"The road between Ashburton and Christchurch is the second most dangerous in the country for fatalities and serious accidents. My first demand of a National Government after the election will be to extend it to four lanes and ask NZTA to treat a second bridge over the Ashburton River as a priority.
"Over the last two years I've been able to provide assistance to many hundreds of people through my offices here in Ashburton and down in Timaru, and at the more than 50 clinics I've held in towns and smaller communities like Methven, Mayfield, Hinds and Mt Somers.
"Helping people in our community is the most important job of being a local MP, and with the ongoing support of Mid Cantabrians, I'll keep at it,'' Mr Falloon says.
