FORMER Bass Coast mayor Jordan Crugnale has been selected as the ALP candidate for Bass in next year’s state election.
Ms Crugnale faced off for the pre-selection against Nathan Sanjay, the ALP candidate for the seat in the 2014 election.
Her selection was announced by the ALP on Thursday.
Ms Crugnale, who has worked in community arts and community development projects, was a Bass Coast councillor from 2012-16 and mayor in 2016. She did not seek re-election in last year’s council election.
She takes on the current Liberal MP for Bass, Brian Paynter, who won the 2014 election with 54.55 per cent of the vote after preferences were distributed. The ALP was second with 45.45 per cent.

Congratulations on your pre- selection. I have always respected your views even when we are poles apart.
Cheers and good luck.
Jordan is the candidate that will inspire people to vote Labor.
I stood for a seat that had been held historically by the liberals and won it for Labor for the first time. Seats change all the time.
Jordan has enormous energy, strength, organising abilities and compassion, and living in the electorate.
Having been a local councillor will have expert and in depth knowledge concerning the local area.
The community will have a quality ALP candidate to fight the State election next year, and hopefully an ALP MP in the Andrews Government to represent the needs of the bass community.
