Councillor Angela Vithoulkas spends $500.000 to become Sydney Mayor

Lord Mayoral candidate Angela Vithoulkas has sold off an investment property she had planned to use to fund her retirement in her campaign to beat incumbent Lord Mayor of Sydney Clover Moore. Cr Vithoulkas, the first candidate to nominate for the election and the founder of the Sydney Matters Independent Team, said the sale of her South Sydney property was a reflection of her commitment. "It's my money and that's my commitment to the people of Sydney", Cr Vithoulkas said to the "Daily Telegrpaph" I can't make it any more personal ... and I'm not going so to get anything back from it, it's not a federal and state issue where if I get elected then I get the money back. It doesn't matter. Win or lose, elected or not elected, Ill never get that money back, she said. Councillor Vithoulkas talks here to Themi Kallos.
