Samantha Facey for Braddon
Samantha Facey was inspired to enter politics while representing her colleagues as a quality assessor and union delegate at McCain’s Smithton factory.
Samantha believes the people of the North West need better representation as they struggle with the cost of power, the cost of groceries, the cost of petrol and the overall cost of living.
Samantha understands the devastating impact the soaring cost of living is having on families and businesses in the Circular Head Region and wants to effectively represent and help people who are struggling every day.
Samantha is a big supporter of a cap on power prices, having seen many people in her community choosing between putting food on the table or keeping the lights on.
She wants to see Tasmanians pay a Tasmanian price for Tasmanian power, instead of paying mainland prices for our own resource.
Samantha is a proud member of the North West community and believes the region and other Tasmanians struggling to make ends meet need representatives who put them first, instead of the high end of town.

Rebecca Prince for Clark
Rebecca Prince has spent 15 years working in the Federal Public Service, interacting with the most vulnerable people in our society and working to improve their lives.
Rebecca lives with a disability and is uniquely placed to advocate on behalf of people whose voices are not often heard in the corridors of power.
Rebecca is driven by the challenges she has encountered as a deaf woman and is passionate about issues affecting others living with a disability, as well as working to improve the housing and homelessness crisis and the treatment of women.
Both her own work and lived experience fighting to be seen and heard, have given her an enormous insight into the need for affordable and accessible healthcare, and in particular, the need for vastly improved mental health care.
As well as reducing waitlists for government housing and emergency crisis accommodation, Rebecca is determined to play a role in achieving gender equality and working to end the scourge of violence against women.
Rebecca knows there is much work to be done to achieve true equality, but believes this can be achieved by working together with business and the community to close the gender pay gap, reduce violence against women, reach equal representation in leadership roles and achieve real improvements in health and wellbeing.

Meg Brown for Franklin
I'm Meg Brown and I am seeking your number [1] vote at the next state election. I was born and raised in Franklin where I live with my partner and two young children.
As you local representative I will fight for:
- Ensuring Tasmanians pay Tasmanian prices for Tasmanian power
- Lower the cost of housing
- Make it easier to get childcare when you have to work
- Cut the little costs that add up for parents
- Help students make ends meet
I have managed small businesses and for the past five years worked as an Electorate Officer in Franklin. This is more than a job; it's a commitment to advocating for our community. Understanding people’s needs and being a voice for those who may not have one has been both humbling and rewarding. My work reflects a sense of community, responsibility, and the belief that positive change is can happen.
After noticing a lack of grassroots netball, I co-founded the Eastern Shore Jets. This came out of a desire to create a positive impact. It has been about more than the game; it's about community, teamwork, health and providing a space for people to come together.
The people of Franklin deserve better than 10 years of an out-of-touch, tired Liberal Government. I am ready to be a new voice with the energy needed for Franklin.
Its time for a better future.
