DALTON CELEBRATES CAREER MILESTONE AT PUBLIC EVENT

Nigel Dalton will seek the support of family and friends for his pitch to represent the people of Mackay during a public celebration of his 60th birthday this weekend.

The former police officer is now the LNP Candidate for the seat of Mackay.

“My 60th birthday marks the official end of my 40-year career as a police officer so it’s a very significant time for me,” Mr Dalton said.

“I’ve also made a commitment to continue serving the community of Mackay by running as the LNP candidate for this seat at the state election to be held in October.

“I’ve been really touched by the offers of support I’ve had from friends old and new, and from young people I’ve been able to support over 20 years in crime prevention policing.

“People are asking how they can help so this barbecue event at the Memorial Pool provides an opportunity to ‘rally the troops’.

“There’s a lot of work to be done and I am inviting anyone who would like to be involved in my campaign to come down and say g’day.

“Bring the family, have a swim and some food and help me celebrate the end of one era and the start of something new.”

Nigel’s 60th Birthday Community Barbecue will be held at the Mackay Memorial Pool in Milton Street from 12 noon to 3pm on Saturday July 27.
