What inspired you to run for Council?
I wanted to run for the Council to be a voice for farmers, considering the landscape between the north and south is so diverse. I am to represent all residents of the shire to make it one of the best places to live, work and raise a family in Victoria.
What do you hope to achieve as a Councillor?
I hope to get the Shire to provide the basics, improved roads and lobby to fix the State controlled roads and basic infrastructure so residents can move about the area in safety and comfort.
