Thank you Southern Downs

I would like to sincerely thank all of the Southern Downs residents who supported me in my recent election campaign.
Even though I didn’t have quite enough votes to get me over the line, I appreciated the number of voters who gave me their tick of approval. It was a very interesting time. I have met many new faces, and had the opportunity to get around the electorate and be aware of what happens in other areas. It was the longest job interview that I have ever had. It was also interesting to meet the other candidates. The experience should stand me in good stead for the next election.
So for now, it is back to my real estate sales job at Landmark Harcourt’s Warwick office.
