In their own words
Hi, I’m Serena. I’m proud to be running as the Victorian Socialists candidate for Preston in this year’s state election. I live in Reservoir, and have been a Preston-Reservoir local for seven years. I’ve loved the area since day one. I work in the mental health sector, and I’m an activist and a unionist.
