Meet Karen Hyslop, our candidate for Lowan
A Northern Grampians Shire councillor for over a decade, including two years as Mayor, Karen is a long-time Stawell local, a former midwife and a passionate advocate for rural Victoria.
Meet Karen. 👋
We’re proud to introduce Cr Karen Hyslop as our candidate for Lowan in the Legislative Assembly at the Victorian State Election on 28 November 2026.
Karen brings 12 years of local government experience to her campaign. She has served the Northern Grampians Shire for over a decade, including two years as Mayor, and is a passionate advocate for rural Victoria.
A long-time Stawell local, mother of three, former midwife and farmer’s wife, Karen knows the challenges facing her region firsthand. Her platform is focused on the issues that matter most to Lowan: fixing crumbling country roads, addressing inadequate rural health services, easing the rising cost of living and preserving prime farm land.
As our candidate, Karen wants to keep politics honest and give the people of Lowan another choice on their ballot.
