MOMENTUM continues to build for Alex Dyson\u2019s independent campaign for Wannon at next year\u2019s federal election, with more than 1,000 supporters online and more than 300 active volunteers.<\/p>\n
Alex\u2019s listening tour is coming to Ararat next week where people can meet and discuss issues next Thursday 31 October from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the Ararat Hotel Caf\u00e9, 130 Barkly Street.<\/p>\n
\u201cI take my lead from locals and community priorities will shape my campaign, so I\u2019m looking forward to heading to Ararat and listening to what matters to locals this next election,\u201d said Alex.<\/p>\n
Campaign volunteer and Moyston resident Sharlien Darker encouraged residents to attend.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a fantastic opportunity to meet Alex and have a chat about what\u2019s important to you.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone is welcome. If it\u2019s only 10 minutes out of your day, come along and let us know what you think your community needs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The \u201cMeet Alex\u201d sessions run in conjunction with a community priority survey available at www.AlexDysonIndependent.com<\/p>\n
Alex grew up in Warrnambool and attended local schools before gaining a spot on local community radio before establishing his broadcasting career at Triple J.<\/p>\n
The 2025 federal election will be Alex\u2019s third campaign.<\/p>\n
In 2022, his campaign saw Wannon become a marginal electorate for the first time in 67 years.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s running as a community independent to get a better deal for South-West Victoria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
