Willcox And Landry Re-Endorsed To Contest Federal Election

Two of Central Queensland’s strongest voices in Canberra, Andrew Willcox and Michelle Landry, have been re-endorsed by the Liberal National Party (LNP) to contest the upcoming federal election, ready to advocate for their electorates and deliver for their communities.

Mr Willcox, Federal Member for Dawson, said he was honoured by the unanimous support of local party members.

“I am honoured to have been endorsed once again as the LNP candidate for the seat of Dawson,” he said.

“It’s a privilege to be entrusted by the local party members, and I am ready to work hard and fight even harder for the betterment of our region and our country.”

He emphasised his dedication to representing all corners of his electorate, from the southern part of Townsville to Mackay’s Northern Beaches.

“I am committed to being a representative of the entire electorate of Dawson and growing a stronger future for all,” he said.

“The upcoming federal election is the most important one yet, where Australians will have the opportunity to elect a new and strong government – a Coalition government who will get Australia back on track.”

Michelle Landry, Federal Member for Capricornia, echoed his commitment to delivering for the region.

“It has been an absolute privilege to represent the people of Capricornia for the past four terms,” Ms Landry said.

“I am determined to continue delivering for our region and fighting for our fair share.”

Ms Landry highlighted $7 billion in investments secured under her leadership, including the Rockhampton Ring Road ($1.2 billion), Walkerston Bypass ($181.83 million), and the Rookwood Weir ($183.6 million).

“Capricornia cannot afford another three years of Labor’s inaction,” she said, calling for continued growth and leadership under the LNP.

Mr Willcox reiterated his determination to secure the best outcomes for Dawson, saying, “I understand my role is to represent the good people of Dawson in Canberra, and I am determined to fight for our fair share of funding and services.

“Being the Federal Member is an important position to hold, and if I am given the honour of continuing in this role, I will give my all to the community I call home.”
