Karen Wright
Independent Candidate -Bega Valley Shire Council
My name is Karen Wright and I am running in the September Council election.
I have grown up in the Bega Valley, and live in South Pambula with my two children.
I currently work as a foster carer assessor in the Out of Home Care sector, and work to place young people in foster care with the right family. I have a passion for working with vulnerable people to achieve great outcomes.
I was actively involved in the Youth Council as a teen, and have always been involved in the Shire because I care about my community. It is honour to be of service to the community I love. I am very active in the community and have been a previous board member of Sapphire Community Pantry, as well as being a member of many community groups including SPAN, the Social Justice Advocates and SWAMP. I want to be a Councillor that is representative of the wider community. There are many candidates that are there for the Ratepayers, and I believe we should have councillors for all residents.
