In their own words
Hi, I’m Dylan. I’m 31, a qualified panel beater, a Muslim and a dad. I grew up in Narre Warren and now live in Officer with my family. I’m running for the Upper House seat of Eastern Victoria with Victorian Socialists because it’s time we bring power back to everyday households and place people before profit.
