In their own words
I am not embarrassed to stand up for your family, no matter what the elites say! Your family needs someone who isn’t afraid to stand up and fight for your values. As a mother of three adopted children, I know what it takes to stand up for families and fight government bureaucracy.

How this page is made. Names, parties and ballot positions are from the VEC's official list. Bios and campaign quotes are copied word for word from the candidate's party profile or their own website, and each links to its source: we don't summarise or rate what they say. The issues are the same ones used for sitting members' records, so candidates can be compared on equal terms. Election history comes from official VEC and AEC results. Donations are as published on VEC Disclosures.
