Hi there, I’m Jaimyn and I’m proud to be your Greens candidate for Clayfield in the Queensland State election.
I am proudly queer and neurodiverse and have a Bachelor’s degree in computer science from QUT. I’m also a young renter with a passion for climate action, social justice and supporting marginalised communities.
I’ve called Brisbane home for the last 17 years but originally grew up in a small mining town in Central Queensland. This gives me a unique perspective when talking about the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels while protecting the communities that currently rely on them.
I spend most of my spare time volunteering at a charity I founded called Brisbane Makerspace. We help marginalised groups of people connect and socialise in a safe space while learning new skills. I believe community spaces like this are so important, as they give people purpose and reduce social isolation.
For too long, the old parties have been neglecting the needs of everyday people like you and I. They’d rather keep the status quo and tinker around the edges than fight for meaningful change.
When the old parties and their corporate donors make laws that choose profit and greed over community needs, everybody loses. Our local community suffers from skyrocketing rents, mortgages, and unsustainable costs of living.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
The Greens don’t take donations from big corporations, which means as your MP, I’d represent you, not vested interests.
Together, we can make sure that essential services like healthcare and education are properly funded. We can put our electricity network back into public hands. We can create thousands of jobs building and running the public infrastructure we need. We can make sure every Queenslander has a home.
State government services and decisions have a profound impact on our everyday lives. They impact the climate, housing, education and transport. We deserve politicians who will fight for what’s right and not just for their corporate donors. And that’s why I’m running to win, but I need your help.
Will you join me?
