DONE DEAL

Brookhaven Conservative Party has a new leadership team. Last night's meeting went smoothly and our church's attorneys, Richard Johannesen and Ken Auerback now hold the top leadership positions in the party, with two of our church's members supporting them on the Executive. I'll be assisting them too in the newly created role of Chaplain to the Executive.

The conservative line is worth anywhere between 7% and 13% of the vote in local elections, so the party has been kingmaker for a number of years.

But sadly that influence has been abused for almost two decades, so it is an enormous breakthrough to have Christians in the leadership positions now.

When the Conservative leaders speak, politicians listen.

And they are going to be talking loud and clear!
