TOM Ward, independent candidate for Eildon electorate, had some special guests in attendance at his campaign launch at Yarck Hall on Sunday. He was supported by former Member for Indi Cathy McGowan and Federal Member for Kenndy Bob Katter. Tom Ward states, “Every vote I take in Parliament will be taken with the consent of those who are engaged in civil life and want their voice represented, and I'll be upfront about how I voted and why. We won't disappear once elected, the campaign continues, the conversation continues, and your input shapes every decision we make.”
