LNP Senator James McGrath officially launched Deb Frecklington’s campaign to retain the seat of Nanango at a function for the party faithful at the Carrollee Hotel in Kingaroy this evening.
Senator McGrath, who is the LNP “patron senator” for the Wide Bay / Sunshine Coast area, may only have been a Senator since July 1 but he’s no newbie when it comes to campaigning.
He’s directed the successful campaigns for Campbell Newman and the NT Country Liberals in 2012, and before that was a political strategist with the British Conservative Party.
He was also a political adviser to long-serving London Lord Mayor Boris Johnson and campaigned in 2008 for the election of resident Mohamed Nasheed in the Maldives.
Local LNP stalwart Jack Delaney is guiding Mrs Frecklington’s campaign.
