Voters will go to the polls on Saturday October 20 to participate in the crucial Wentworth by-election.

Licia Heath, a community activist and asset manager has been backed by both Lord Mayor Clover Moore and Sydney MP Alex Greenwich as an independent candidate for Wentworth.

“I endorse Licia Heath as the genuine progressive independent candidate for the Wentworth by-election,” Cr Moore said in a statement on Thursday.

Heath is known in the Eastern Suburbs for the CLOSEast (Community for Local Options for Secondary Education, East) campaign she ran, petitioning all levels of government for a new public high school in the area.

Heath is also known for her commitment to gender equality through her work with Women for Election Australia (WFEA), a non-for-profit organisation working to increase the number of women in public office at local, state and federal levels.

Drive will have the opportunity to speak to both Licia Heath and Alex Greenwich this Tuesday 2nd October at 5pm.
