Political career

In 2000, MacLeod was elected to the Taranaki Regional Council in a by-election following the death of councillor Ralph Latta. He served as chair from 2007 to 2022, when he stepped down.[4] After his re-election in 2019, a rival candidate complained to the Auditor-General that council advertising featuring MacLeod's image had given him an unfair advantage.[5] The Auditor-General advised the council that it may wish to reconsider its policy on pre-election advertising.[6]
On 31 October 2022, MacLeod was selected as National's candidate for Шаблон:NZ electorate link at the 2023 New Zealand general election.[2] MacLeod also ran afoul of signage rules during his 2023 election campaign, by placing his signs outside the designated timeframe, and using incorrect font sizes.[7] MacLeod was listed low on the party list at 67 out of 74, due to the expectation he would win his electorate; it was a placement that former MP and political editor Claudette Hauiti said should have McLeod "fuming", but which he said was "irrelevant" as it showed the party was confident he would win the electoral seat.[8][9]
On election night MacLeod beat incumbent Labour MP Glen Bennett by a margin of 6,991 votes.[10][11]
Views and positions
When his campaign was announced, MacLeod identified Taranaki roads, increasing the number of immigrants available to the workforce, and the oil and gas industry as areas he was keen to work on when in parliament.[3]
