SENATE candidate Susan Benedyka was in Wangaratta on Wednesday, as part of a long Victoria–wide campaign to win a seat at this month's federal election.

According to Ms Benedyka, she has been campaigning since October last year, and has spoken to voters across almost all of Victoria.

She is campaigning on four key platforms – strong climate policies, building national resilience to disasters and crises, political integrity and accountability, and building inclusion through reforming welfare, improving aged care and supporting the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

She has been travelling across Victoria in her Senate campaign – after talking to voters at the prepolling station on Ford Street she planned to campaign in Wodonga later that day.

The next day she was going to hand out how–to–vote cards in Mansfield and Benalla, and then attend a politics in the pub event in Warburton that night.

She said that many voters are bringing up political integrity and climate issues, but particularly emphasized housing as an issue across the state.

"I'm hearing about housing, and it's everything from social housing, to housing affordability, to rental affordability, to even the availability of housing, and then not being able to get workers to do all the construction work that's needed," she said.

And there's a palpable feeling for people under 40 about totally being excluded from being able to buy a house."

Ms Benedyka lives in Byawatha and has been living in North East Victoria since 2000.

She is the managing director of a Wangaratta–based consulting company that works in facilitation, strategic planning and engagement.

She asked people to be intentional about voting.

"Go to column T – T for trust, independent to a T, and that's where you find me," she said.

"It's a job half done if we only get good independents into the lower house.

"We need that same respectful considered debate going on in the Senate as well."
