LUKACS, Angela

I live with my husband and three boys; the youngest is just finishing high school. I am a primary school teacher of nearly 30 years, and a swimming teacher of more than 10 years. I started my first aid training business in 2015 which keeps me busy. I have a Bachelor of Teaching/Bachelor of Arts and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. I have been the Regional Liaison Officer for Royal Life Saving SA since 2010, and run their local Holiday Swim programs, teaching all ages swimming and water safety skills. I volunteer with the local army cadet unit and at the local library. Through my business, I happily share my knowledge with various community groups. I have been Chairperson for the Riverland West Chamber of Commerce since 2022. I initiated the RWCC Career Expo and Business Awards in 2021. With a strong sense of community, I will ensure the whole region is treated equitably and people are encouraged to the district for business, employment, and lifestyle.

GAMERTSFELDER, Jakob

My work focuses on helping people stay in our area, to stay in their own homes. My volunteer work is the organisation of meal deliveries. My paid work is helping people deal with organisations that provide healthcare, home care and transport. In the twelve years I have lived in Morgan I have been very public about helping our area grow. I am always happy to write, talk or act on things which improve living in our area. I have a very simple focus; for every group I work with I want to achieve goals and be financially successful. Which is why I want to run for council. My emphasis on our future is creating more housing in our area. Our local council can do that, and by providing more housing options, help Australia, and help local ratepayers' finances. I love living in Morgan, they've been the best years of my life, I want other people to feel what I feel. Vote for me if you want that too.

MYERS, Kevin Paul

After serving 16 years as an elected member of Mid Murray Council’s Eyre Ward, I have had a 2-year break but am now ready to return and represent the rate payers if elected. I am currently still involved as Chair of the Heritage and Maritime Board, but feel I have a lot more to offer the residents of Eyre Ward and the wider Council area. I have a broad knowledge of how Council works in the areas of Planning, Infrastructure and Finance. My experience in chairing many of Councils section 41 committees has helped build my knowledge of all Mid Murray towns and the issues they face. More support is needed for our youth, elderly and disabled who reside in the rural areas of our Council. In the past I have been a Council representative on Truro, Blanchetown, Cadell and Morgan Community organizations and I believe the strength of a Council comes from the smaller regional towns. I will push for further support in the areas of flood clean up in river towns and more upgrades for our regional road.
