Former Mayor of Hurstville Council and cancer survivor, Steve McMahon, said he will be fighting to win the Greek community’s support after winning preselection to be the Labor candidate for Barton at the Federal election.

Steve has lived in the St George area his whole life, and is also raising his two children with his wife Lee.

“It is an honour to represent the Labor Party in the community I grew up and live in,” Steve McMahon said.

Mr McMahon said that Barton had a vibrant and active Greek community, many of whom he had met during his time as Mayor of Hurstville.

“I will always be putting the community first, and I’m committed to fighting for a second airport, improving St George Hospital and delivering new infrastructure for our area.”
