The names of the two new Labor candidates were revealed today by Premier for Queensland Steven Miles who came to Mackay to make the formal announcement.
Dr Bauke Hovinga, an emergency Doctor at Mackay Base Hospital, has been named as the candidate for the seat of the Whitsundays.
He will go up against current Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP who was voted into the seat in 2020 following her success in winning the seat against Labor candidate Angie Kelly in a close margin of less that 100 first preference votes.
Meanwhile, social worker Susan Teder has been announced as the Labor candidate for the Mirani seat.
She will vie for the position against current Member for Mirani Stephen Andrew who is now in his second term, having beat Labor candidate Shane Hamilton in 2020 last State election.
This news comes as the election race begins to heat up and candidates begin their campaigns for the upcoming State election which is due to take place on 26th October.
