The Nationals Duty Senator for Lyne John Williams has offered his congratulations to Dr. David Gillespie for winning the Lyne electorate at the Federal election.Senator Williams said it is a reward for perseverance.

He said Dr. Gillespie, who was narrowly defeated at the 2010 election, has spent more than a year on the ground in Lyne working towards yesterday’s result.

Dr. Gillespie travelled to all parts of the electorate attending meetings, community events and doorknocking, and the people of Lyne could see he would be an energetic and effective local member in a Coalition government.

I look forward to Dr. Gillespie joining the Nationals party room and providing a strong voice for Lyne in Canberra.
