She has spent the last two years helping communities across NSW advocate for their needs with renewable energy projects. She first ran as an independent in 2022 because she was asked to step up and was overwhelmed by the community’s support – coming second against the National Party incumbent. She’s campaigning again on her values: a community that is connected and thriving, a transition away from fossil fuels, decent funding for essential workers, and more honesty in politics.</p><p><br></p><p>https://www.katehook.com.au</p>","author_name":"Julia Zemiro"}
