Magenta then moved to working as an Electorate Officer for David Michael MLA - Member for Balcatta for four years, then working in WA Labor as a campaign organiser and the director of women's organising.

Magenta understands the difference Labor Governments make to everyday people's lives. Like the train line that connects the people of Rockingham to Perth, providing more opportunities for study and work. Or the upgrades to local schools and hospitals, providing quality education, health, and jobs for the community.

Magenta has a love for sports and what it provides. Sport brings people together and is a central part of any thriving community. Magenta started the women's football team at the Baldivis Districts club and is proud to have coached the disability-inclusive team at her soccer club.

Magenta is a strong believer in equality and cares about access to quality education, housing affordability, protecting the local environment, investing in local schools and hospitals, and improving public transport.

As the Member for Rockingham, and a Waikiki local, Magenta Marshall is working hard to deliver for the community and build on Labor's proud legacy of providing and improving opportunities available to all.
