You are warmly invited to join us for a special evening to officially launch the campaign to elect Charlotte McCabe as Newcastle’s next Mayor.

Please join us for dinner with NSW MLC Sue Higginson as we launch Charlotte’s campaign to contest the Mayoral vacancy created by the resignation of Dr Ross Kerridge.

As you know, Dr Kerridge stepped back from his Mayoral duties in late 2025 to undergo treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. During that time, Charlotte was appointed Acting Mayor — a responsibility she carried out with her characteristic calm, integrity and competence.

Following his return to duties, Dr Kerridge has now formally resigned, paving the way for a Newcastle Mayoral by-election.

Charlotte is the only candidate in this race with the proven experience, strong community recognition, and clear policy vision needed to lead Newcastle with confidence. We believe she has a genuine opportunity to win — and to provide the steady, community-focused leadership our city deserves.

We hope you’ll join us at The Hive for dinner and a drink as we officially launch the Charlotte McCabe for Newcastle Mayor campaign.

We look forward to seeing you there!
