About Jamie
Hi, I’m Jamie, your Nationals candidate for Parkes.
Born and raised in regional NSW, I have lived in the Gunnedah community since 1991. Side by side over the last 31 years, my wife Judy and I have raised four children and now enjoy being grandparents to three wonderful grandchildren.
Our home is on our family grain and cattle property near Gunnedah, where I am an active member of our Anglican church and have volunteered for many years with Gunnedah Rotary and the Carroll RFS brigade.
My career began as a supermarket store manager after leaving school, before I returned to our region to join the family engineering business. For over five decades we’ve served the agriculture, industrial and commercial sectors employing as many as 100 locals, and in my professional life I am proud to have served as Gunnedah Mayor since 2016.
I am passionate about regional Australia and will work hard to continue the legacy of Mark Coulton MP, advocating tirelessly to ensure our region gets its fair.
