The team will be listed fourth as group D on the ballot and Miss McRae will be the only woman leading a ticket for the upcoming Saturday, September 9 election.
Miss McRae is standing along with Rod Bloomfield who ran for the Nick Xenophon Party in the 2016 federal election, taxi driver Darryl Curran, former Orange Business Chamber president Tony Healey, Orange Health Professionals president Cheng Zhang and Alive Health owner Alison Bennett.
It is Miss McRae’s first foray into local government and she wants to see a review of the CBD strategy to improve retail and parking.
