Karen Howard

Ran for the state seat of Newcastle as a Liberal. Lost. Then when Andrew Cornwell and Tim Owen resigned from parliament, Mike Baird said he'd atone for the disgrace and not run a candidate in either seat when the by-elections were held in September 2014.

However, Howard ran for Newcastle calling herself an independent, and lost. Badly.

Then, came the March 2015 NSW General Election, Karen Howard ran as a Liberal and lost again.
