Meet James
Hi, I’m James Martin.
I’m a long-term local and I’m passionate about our community.
I grew up on the southside and prior to being elected in 2021, I worked closely with my good friend Duncan Pegg, the former member for Stretton who sadly passed away, to support his efforts to represent locals and fight for quality infrastructure and services.
More About James Martin
- I remain committed to building on Duncan’s legacy and standing up for local schools, better healthcare, safer roads and improved public transport. I’m also a champion of our local small businesses community and work closely with all our local multicultural groups to make sure that government services and policy meet the needs of our wonderful, diverse community.
