Ryan’s tenure as the local member and thanked her supporting the campaign. “Steph has done a fantastic job over the last eight years and I can’t thank her enough for her support, guidance and friendship over the past few months,” Ms Cleeland said. “They are massive shoes to fill but the vision we put forward for our region was incredibly positive and has been backed by the community.” Ms Cleeland also thanked the work of volunteers and

party members throughout the campaign. “The level of support from family, friends and members has blown me away,” she said. “I can’t thank the hundreds of people who have lent a hand to support my campaign and get this done enough. “It’s great to see so many people involved in politics and fighting for our region right across the political spectrum. “Running a campaign
takes a village and the team behind me should be proud of their hard work and the local outcome.” The election victory for Ms Cleeland continues The Nationals’ reign in the region, with the now-retired member Steph Ryan previously holding the seat since it was first contested in 2014. In the primary first preference votes this week, the majority of votes were shared amongst The Nationals, Labor and the Liberal Party. ■ Continued page 2
