An experienced voice for Derwent
I am pleased to announce that Craig Farrell MLC will be recontesting the seat of Derwent for Labor in the upcoming Legislative Council elections next May.
You would be hard-pressed to find someone who cares about and understands the Derwent electorate as much as Craig.
As proof of this, he has lived in the area for almost 40 years and has four children and seven grandchildren who all live within the greater Derwent Valley.
A highly respected and experienced advocate for his local community, Craig has volunteered for many local organisations focussed on making the Derwent a better place to live, and has represented the electorate for more than 15 years in State Parliament.
Over the seven years he's served as President of the Legislative Council Craig has become one of the most trusted voices in Tasmania's Parliament and I know he'll continue to make a great local representative for Derwent.
I look forward to supporting Craig as he runs a positive campaign focussed on progressing the region's great offerings, championing the Derwent's diverse community and protecting essential services.
Attributable to Craig Farrell MLC
This region has given me and my family so much, and I have been incredibly proud to give a fraction of that back by representing the community for the past 15 years in Parliament.
People who call this electorate home know what a great place the region is to live - but they also know how much potential it has to improve and that's what I'll continue to focus on.
One of the standout things about the Derwent electorate is its diversity.
If I'm fortunate enough to be chosen to represent the community for another six years I'll continue to make sure the rich array of voices here continue to be heard so everyone can move forward together.
