Hi, I’m Phil Scott

For 15 years I've worked with communities and brought people together to solve complex problems. I know that strong communities don't happen by accident, they're built through collaboration, smart investment, and a deep respect for the people who call this place home.

But like so many locals, I see the challenges we face — rising costs of living, a lack of secure jobs and housing, and growing inequality. I’ve also seen how the major parties are failing to represent our community.

That’s why I’m running as your community Independent to give us a real voice in Parliament. I’ll be accountable to you, not a party machine.
