Nauss takes the long road for election campaign

CANDIDATES from all walks of life take different approaches to their campaign trail in a quest to win essential votes.

Southern Downs independent candidate Jay Nauss has taken it to the next level, as he embarks on a journey with his bike across the region.

Mr Nauss started his trip yesterday, and said there were a number of destinations along the way.

"I left Glen Aplin through to Warwick yesterday, with a visit to Stanthorpe along the way,” Mr Nauss said.

"I enjoy cycling. I've ridden over 7900km over the past 12 months, including a few long 4-5 day trips.

Sporting a green vest with his name affixed, Mr Nauss said the journey was a great way to get out into the community.

"This will give me a chance to wave the flag and talk to people along the way,” he said.

"Hopefully a few people notice it and say hello.

"It's an interesting way to talk to people, and I'm hoping to chat with as many people as I can.”

Destinations on the path of Jay Nauss include Inglewood, Karrara and Texas before making it to Goondiwindi.
