Getting a better deal for Warringah
Broadcast journalist and endurance swimmer Jaimee Rogers has been endorsed as the Liberal candidate for Warringah, and will campaign for a strong economy, better infrastructure and services the electorate needs.
Lifelong passion for sport led Jaimee to a career in journalism and sports media – from hosting the WSL Pro Qualifying Series, to the Ultimate Bowls Championship on Fox Sports or jumping in to host the Women's Footy TV show. Jaimee had also worked as a journalist and panellist on Sky Sports Radio's The Big Sports Breakfast, taking on hosting duties for the summer editions of both the weekday and weekend programs, while also working in the Channel 7 and 10 newsrooms. Before putting her hand up to run for Warringah, Jaimee was a journalist and producer with ABC NewsRadio.
Jaimee competed at the 2000 Olympic swimming trials, which later led to her becoming an ambassador for the mental health charity, Gotcha4life, and undertaking a 35km swim across the English Channel in 2022 to raise funds and community awareness of mental health issues.
Raising her two young boys with husband David in Warringah, Jaimee knows how tough local families have been doing for the last two years.
“We’re seeing families having to make choices that no family ever wants to confront – as the Labor cost of living crisis, with the skyrocketing rents and mortgages, is forcing many families to juggle their household bills. Higher prices for food, petrol, energy and insurance are leaving many families to wonder how much longer they’ll be able to afford living in their current home or apartment.”
“I have always believed in putting your hand up and giving back to the community – that’s why I have put myself forward as the Liberal candidate for Warringah,” Ms Rogers said. “Standing on the sidelines is no longer an option – we need a Liberal government that can tame Labor’s inflation and grow our economy.”
“Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, and they’ve been struggling to keep their doors open and creating the jobs and opportunities we need for Warringah. That’s why I’ll be campaigning to get our economy back on track, cut red tape, and protect small businesses and consumers.”
“I will also continue to be a passionate advocate for mental health, as suicide remains the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15 to 49.”
“With the community’s support, I will fight for the services and infrastructure that the Warringah community deserves; and ensure that our schools and hospitals are getting the funding they need.”
“A Liberal Government will stand up for struggling families and small businesses and take the pressure off households, by reigning in Labor’s inflationary spending and bringing the Budget under control. Only the Liberals have the proven track record of delivering lower interest rates and lower taxes, and the only way to get the support, infrastructure and services our community needs is by voting Liberal,” Ms Rogers concluded.
