In their own words
Hi I’m Ben. I’m running in this year’s state election as a candidate with Victorian Socialists because I believe in a society that puts people above profit. I'm a renter in Ivanhoe, and I work at a local supermarket where I'm a proud member of the Retail and Fast Food Workers' Union (RAFFWU).
