a seat on the Rodney Local Board. In October 2016 Brewer was elected on the Rodney First ticket which gained a majority of five members on the nine-person Rodney Local Board. He stood in the Kumeu subdivision, gaining 4,018 votes – polling the second highest of all the candidates standing for the Rodney Local Board. Brewer was Chairman of the Rodney Local Board's Transport, Infrastructure & Environment Committee from 2016 to 2019. Brewer has been a member of the National Party since 1996 and since 2015 has resided in the electorate. Following the announcement of John Key's pending resignation as a member of parliament, it was speculated that he was considering standing in the electorate, but he ruled it out in early January 2017 citing family, business and local board commitments. He left politics in 2019 and runs his own communications firm, Cameron Brewer Communications Limited, established in 2015.
