Monica Tudehope will be the Liberal candidate for the Epping by-election, continuing Dominic Perrottet’s hard work in standing up for families and households and fighting for the investment and services the local community need.
Growing up in West Pennant Hills, Monica has a lifelong connection to the area, attending the Tangara School for Girls at Cherrybrook and being actively engaged in local sports, from swimming at Dence Park and playing tennis locally.
As a senior advisor Monica has contributed to the development of programs that helped families and young people, including the Active Kids vouchers and the First Home Buyers program.
“I am humbled by the opportunity I’ve been given to represent the Liberal Party, continue Dominic Perrottet’s hard work and to fight for our local community,” Ms Tudehope said.
Raising two children Alice and Grace with husband Tim, Monica understands the challenges families and households face, particularly those impacting young people looking to buy their first home.
“Local households and businesses are finding it hard to make ends meet, as a working mum of two, I know the price of milk, the price of insurance and the cost of keeping the lights on. I am focused on helping families who are struggling with the cost of living across Epping,” Ms Tudehope said.
“Throughout my career, I have worked to help make lives easier for hard-working families, whether establishing the Active Kids vouchers to encourage participation in sports, or removing the burden of stamp duty with First Home Buyers Choice and helping small businesses through lower payroll tax.”
“Under Labor the cost of everything is going up and everyone is paying more. Labor have turned their back on families, slashing important cost of living programs like Active Kids, Creative Kids and axing Back to School Vouchers.”
“I will be a strong voice for locals, standing up against Labor’s cuts to schools, hospitals and cost of living support, and fighting for better cost of living support for families.
