GLENORCHY alderman and former prison officer Sharon Carnes will stand for the Labor Party in the state seat of Denison.
Revealing the new candidate today, Premier Lara Giddings said Ms Carnes was a long-time member who epitomised the grassroots of the party.
"Sharon was brought up in a proudly working-class Labor family and is committed to standing up for jobs and opportunities for all," Ms Giddings said.
"Sharon's values have been shaped by a diverse background which has included working in the shearing industry, a period as a prison officer, working for the Tasmanian Ombudsman as a part of the Review into Abuse of Children in State Care. Most recently she has worked for state and federal Labor members of Parliament."
Ms Carnes said she wanted to enter State Parliament to have a stronger voice to represent the people of Denison.
"I was four when Gough Whitlam was dismissed and I remember asking my parents what's the difference between Labor and Liberal," she said.
"They told me; 'Labor looks after people like us who are workers and the Liberal Party looks after people like your dad's boss'."
