Steph Ryan, the Deputy Leader of the Victorian Nationals party, has announced she will be stepping down at the Victorian state election.
In her statement, she said it was hard to commit 100% to a job that requires availability at all times with her young child and one on the way. She has been in Parliament for eight years and is the member for Euroa.
She is looking for a more flexible job and is hoping whoever steps into her job represents the electorate in the next term.
