The Tasmanian Liberal Party has appointed Sam McQuestin as its new State Director ahead of the upcoming Federal Election.
McQuestin, who previously held the position from 2013 to 2019, will lead the party’s campaign to retain the seats of Braddon and Bass and win back Lyons.
State President Michael McKenna described McQuestin’s return as a “real coup” for the party, calling him one of their most successful State Directors.
“Sam is one of the most successful State Directors the Tasmanian Liberal Party has had, overseeing both the 2014 and 2018 State Election wins,” McKenna said.
“He also ran the successful 2013 Tasmanian Federal Election campaign (the last time we won three House of Representative seats in Tasmania), and in 2019 helped to win back both Braddon and Bass, securing Government for former Prime Minister Scott Morrison.”
He will take up the position in the coming weeks.
McQuestin had to pay $40,000 in fines earlier this year for breaching electoral advertising laws in Victoria.
