In the neighbouring seat of Pittwater, which is being vacated by senior minister Rob Stokes, Northern Beaches Liberal councillor Rory Amon is the frontrunner after Families and Communities Minister Natasha Maclaren-Jones, who sits in the upper house, withdrew from the race.
Lawyer Claire Longley, whose father Jim Longley is a former Pittwater MP, was also considered an option and Stokes’ preferred replacement but has been unable to nominate due to issues with her membership.
