A former Chief of Staff to Premier Steven Marshall, James Stevens has taken over as the party’s representative in Sturt from outgoing Defence Minister the Hon Christopher Pyne MP.

James is an experienced and driven South Australian leader with a strong connection to the electorate of Sturt and its many communities.

He has had a distinguished professional career both in politics and privately, holding positions of Commercial Manager and General Manager for Michell Wool, which will hold him in good stead as a local member.
