Five candidates have put up their hand for Nationals pre-selection for the upcoming Cootamundra by-election, and for the first time in the history of the party, all of them are women.

Among those vying for a chance to run for the seat under the Nats’ banner are Steph Cooke, Miriam Dayhew, Ruth Fagan, Rachel Smith and Wendy Tuckerman.

Retiring MP Katrina Hodgkinson says each and every one of them would make an exceptional Member of Parliament , the successful candidate will be chosen by a plebiscite of all National Party members in Cootamundra this coming Sunday.
