For the past four years, I have had the privilege of serving as mayor of Greater Shepparton and fighting for the community that I’m proud to call home.

Now, I am excited to be the Nationals’ candidate for the Shepparton District at November’s state election.

I’m a local. This is my backyard. I know the strengths of our region, but I also understand the challenges our communities face and the opportunities we can’t afford to miss.

For the last 12 years under Labor, Shepparton District has missed out. We deserve our fair share of investment and a government that listens. To get that change, we need an experienced, local voice at the government table when decisions are made.

Throughout this campaign, I will be out and about across the entire district, listening to locals, visiting businesses and community groups, and sharing my vision and the Nationals’ plan for our region.

Most importantly, I want to hear from you.

If there is an issue that matters to you, an idea you want to raise or something you believe our region needs, please get in touch.

You can email me at Shane.Sali@vic.nationals.org.au or follow me on social media to keep up with the campaign.

If you would like to join the campaign, I would love to hear from you. Whether you can help in a big or small way, every bit of support will make a difference.

The Nationals are the only party that backs regional Victoria and has a real plan to deliver the investment and outcomes our communities deserve.

I’m ready to keep fighting for our region and be the strong local voice Shepparton District needs in parliament.
