In their own words
Hi I’m Chris. I’m a Ballarat local, a unionist, a proud socialist and a long-term emergency services volunteer. I’m running as the Victorian Socialists candidate for Wendouree in this year's state election because I believe that a better, fairer world is possible and that governments should put people before private profits.
