Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan was today elected as The Nationals candidate for our community at the upcoming Federal Election.

“I am very humbled,” Mr Hogan said.

“I would like to thank all Nationals members for their support and also the broader community who have now elected me three times to represent them in Canberra.”

“Working together, we have achieved a lot since I was first elected in 2013, but there is always more to be done.”

“As well as continuing to deliver much needed projects and services, I will continue to stand up for our community in Parliament and put our community first.”

Born and bred in Regional Australia, Kevin lives with his wife Karen and three children on a property near Lismore.

After completing an Economics degree Kevin spent over ten years in Sydney forging a successful career in finance, working for Colonial for many years.

When the time came to raise a family Kevin and Karen moved back to the Northern Rivers and Karen’s home town of Lismore.

Kevin took up teaching, at St Mary’s High School in Casino, teaching Business Studies and serving, for a time, as Deputy Principal.

He operated a small business and runs a cattle property. Karen works as a registered nurse.

Kevin has always been committed to contributing to his local community. He has served on a local council Wastewater Advisory Committee, been Vice President of his local state primary school P&C, president of the local sports club, and coached junior sporting teams.

Kevin joined the Nationals because it is the only party solely dedicated to representing regional areas.
