Is Jon running in a team?
No, he is not.
Jon believes this Council is working well together and he’d like to see that continue with the re-election of all the Councillors who are re-contesting their Divisions.
Who does Jon support to be the new Councillor for Division 5?
Jon trusts the judgment of people who live in Division 5 when it comes to choosing their next Councillor.
He’d prefer the person who replaces him to be a local to the area that has been part of the community in Marsden, Crestmead, Berrinba and Waterford West for a long time.
Is Jon in a political party?
All candidates in Logan are independent because Logan City Council is an independent Council without direct influence of any political parties and Jon wants it to stay that way.
Jon is a member of the Labor party, but he is not an endorsed candidate. He has not and will not receive donations from the party.
To understand this better you can compare it to being a player for the Broncos compared to being a supporter of the Broncos.
The player must do what the coach says or they are off the team. The supporter wants the Broncos to do well and barracks for them when they’re playing, but is also disappointed if they play badly or the players misbehave.
Jon will always put the needs of the city first. But he will use his relationships and experience from being in a political party to benefit the city and make sure that your voice is heard at every level of government.
