In their own words
Hello, I’m Louisa. I’m running in this year’s state election as a candidate with Victorian Socialists because I believe we deserve to live in a more equal and fair society than the one we do. With decent housing out of reach for so many and a total failure by leaders to address climate destruction, change has never been more necessary.

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.
