Louise Crawford

Louise Crawford is a proud Elwood local who has lived, worked and volunteered in her community for more than 25 years.

Louise has had a long career in television and film, and has worked as a hospitality professional for more than 20 years. Years of hard work in both industries taught her the value of creativity and community. She has served on Port Phillip Council for a decade, including as Mayor and Deputy Mayor, fighting for the arts, early education centres and the local environment.

Louise grew up watching her parents be the first to volunteer and pitch in, and she has never been someone to wait around for others to make change happen. She joined Labor in 2014 to make sure climate action continued, and her work with the Labor Environment Action Network has helped shape government policy.

Now, with so much at risk this election, Louise wants to take a decade of local government experience to state parliament.

Louise Crawford will listen to the community and fight for them across the Southern Metropolitan region.
