Hi, I’m Jesse

I’m a Surf Coast local, environmentalist and climate advocate, running to make Polwarth a place where both people and the planet can thrive. From Torquay to the Otways and our hinterland, our communities face rising seas, extreme weather, and housing pressures but I know we can face these challenges head on with thoughtful leadership and collective effort.

I’ve spent my career connecting people, communities and governments to deliver real-world climate and biodiversity solutions. I want to hear from farmers, families, young people, retirees and business owners alike, making sure every voice counts, is included and respected. I’m committed to pushing for action on housing, cost of living, protecting our coasts, waters and forests, and creating a sustainable future that builds and supports our region.

Together, through positive action, we can create a Polwarth that’s resilient, fair and thriving for generations to come.
