Just two candidates named for the seat of Port Macquarie

Late March marked the unanimous preselection of Leslie Williams, the sitting Port Macquarie MP, to contest the seat of Port Macquarie for The Nationals, and The Greens preselected Port Macquarie's Drusi Megget as its candidate in June.

Voters go to the polls in NSW on the last Saturday in March.

Candidate nominations can't be lodged before the writs are issued.

Mrs Williams said it was more than five months before the election but the beauty of democracy was anybody could put their hand up to become a candidate.

"I would envisage we would see other candidates as the months progress," she said.

Mrs Williams said she was proud of her record and the government's record.

The extension of mental health facilities at Port Macquarie Base Hospital and within the community is one of Mrs Williams' priorities.

"I will continue to work really hard to represent my community in the parliament and more broadly," she said.

"I think there are clearly lots of benefits of being part of a party that is part of government."

Meanwhile, The Greens candidate, Drusi Megget, said it was still early days in her campaign.

"I'm confident of having an enthusiastic team and I will enjoy putting Greens' principles out there to the community," she said.

Ms Megget anticipates more candidates to declare their intention in coming months.

"It might take as long as February before people start advertising their interest to be candidates - that is their choice," she said.

The Greens candidate considers her June preselection provided plenty of planning time ahead of the election.

Sustainable fishing and marine sanctuaries, and jobs in the renewable energy sector are among her top issues.
