Deputy Victorian Nationals leader Steph Ryan will announce her retirement from state politics on Wednesday, citing family reasons.
“With a little one at home and another on the way, it is time for me to seek a job that offers greater flexibility,” the Euroa MP said. Ryan said her community deserved an MP who could “devote 150 per cent of their time and energy” representing them and she could no longer provide that commitment. Her departure will come as a blow to the Victorian Coalition, which lost several senior MPs during the 2018 election and has been struggling in the polls just five months out from the state election.
