Ewan McDonald, Candidate for Murray Plains

Ewan is a fourth-generation farmer living and working on the family farm near Rochester in Northern Victoria. He is a family man with six children.

Ewan has had a lifelong interest in politics beginning with the National Party where he once served as president of the Young National Party of Victoria. He later joined the Christian Democratic Party (CDP) of Victoria, where he stood as a candidate at both the State and Federal level including once as the lead Victorian Senate candidate for CDP.

Ewan is pleased to support the Family First party as its candidate for Murray Plains as he believes it is the only unapologetically pro-life and pro-family party contesting this Victorian state election.

“When opposition leader Jess Wilson announced that the Coalition would be matching Labor’s promise to fully fund abortion in this state, I was shocked and appalled. Then, One Nation came out and committed to keeping Victoria’s radical abortion laws unchanged! This motivated me to assist the campaign of Family First, which is the only 100% pro-life party on the ballot this election. I want to give the electors of Murray Plains a choice to vote for a genuinely pro-life and pro-family party candidate.”

Over the years, Ewan has been active in a number of different community groups and organisations. He served for ten years as captain of his local Country Fire Authority (CFA) brigade, where he continues to volunteer. He served ten years on the management committee of Right to Life Australia (RTLA) under the leadership of Margaret Tighe. He has been active in local churches.

Ewan is also a member of the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF), and an alumni of the Goulburn-Murray Community Leadership program (Fairley Leadership).

In addition to being staunchly pro-life, Ewan’s policy interests include pro-family policies, affordable & reliable energy, law & order, agriculture, economics & cost of living.
