proACT endorses David Pocock
We are delighted to endorse David Pocock as a community-backed independent candidate for the Senate.
proACT’s endorsement committee was unanimous that David is the candidate for us – he listens to the community, will act on the issues important to us and will stand up for the ACT.
David is an outstanding, authentic leader and will be able to reach out to a diverse ACT community and act in support of priorities identified by the proACT community, such as climate impact and integrity.
proACT is energized and encouraged by the strength of David’s integrity and deep commitment to be of service to the ACT community and sincerely believe in his ability to win the Senate position.
We encourage everyone who wants to see an independent elected to the Senate to support David: www.davidpocock.com.au
With this stage complete, proACT will be moving into a new phase. We look forward to engaging with you on this in the new year.
proACT is pro the ACT, proactive about getting the voices of the people of the ACT heard, and proactive about building a better Canberra. We are a bridge between people and politics.
So many of us are tired of the toxic politics of today.
There is a better way.
Be part of the change you want to see.
We need more independent voices in Parliament to listen to our communities and take real action on the big (and little) issues that matter. proACT is pushing for an independent Senator for the ACT at the next federal election. With the right candidate and the right community groundswell, we (collectively) can make it happen.
Webinars we held during the year
Watch for recordings of Zali Steggall, Ruby Donald, and Dr Arnagretta Hunter discussing climate change, Dr Carolyn Hendriks and Matt Dening on getting Independents elected to the senate, Rex Patrick and Amy Remeikis on integrity in politics and Craig Reucassel, Richard Denniss and Clare Doube on money in politics and what we can do about it.
We’ve found a stellar candidate to support in the next Senate election.
We analysed past election results to understand voting patterns in the ACT.
Then we listened to you and what you wanted in a candidate.
You told us that you want someone who:
is trustworthy, positive and acts with integrity
will represent and will act for the views of the ACT – we’ve heard that real action on climate change is your top priority, and you want someone with a track record
is not aligned to a party
is engaged in the community and can listen and speak to a wide variety of people across the ACT, not just those who are already political engaged
can win! It’ll be a tight race, so we need a candidate who has the profile and substance to meaningfully engage across the ACT and will appeal to a broad-enough range of voters to become our new Senator.
After a selection process we endorsed DAVID POCOCK!
