Annabelle Cleeland

Euroa is a rural district spanning central and north-central Victoria along the Hume Highway corridor from Kilmore to Benalla, taking in Benalla, Euroa, Seymour, Heathcote, Broadford, Kilmore, Violet Town, Nagambie and Rushworth across roughly 11,450 km² and about 49,000 electors. Created in the 2013 redistribution and first contested in 2014, it has been held by the Nationals since its creation — first by Steph Ryan (2014–2022), then by Annabelle Cleeland, who won it in 2022 with a two-candidate-preferred result of 59.9% to Labor's 40.1% (a margin of roughly 19.8 points). For 2026, One Nation confirmed tradesperson and Mansfield RSL historian Steve Campbell as its candidate on 2 September 2026, and the Greens have endorsed Alysia Regan, a Melbourne public servant with a family cattle farm near Taggerty (close to Mansfield) who has previously stood for the Greens in Sandringham (2022 state election), a Bayside council ward (2024) and the federal seat of Indi (2025). As of this research pass, no Labor candidate for Euroa could be confirmed, despite Labor having contested and placed second here in 2022 — worth flagging for a future roll update. Note also: Wikipedia's 'Candidates of the 2026 Victorian state election' page, the source of this batch's original leads, currently mislabels two of these three candidates' parties (listing Regan as Labor and Campbell as Greens); independent sourcing — a Border Mail news report, the Victorian Greens' own state candidates page, One Nation Victoria's own candidates page, and the Australian Election Tracker — all agree Regan is the Greens candidate and Campbell is the One Nation candidate, which is what this dataset uses. The Victorian Socialists' Zoe Lyle is also standing, and The Tally Room lists no Labor or Liberal candidate as of late September 2026.
