Former defence minister and WA Liberal senator Linda Reynolds has announced she’ll stand down from politics at the next election.

Ms Reynolds was elected to the Senate in 2014, before being re-elected in 2016 and 2019.

In a statement posted to Facebook, Ms Reynolds said she would not seek Liberal Party pre-selection for another term beyond June 2025.

“For forty years I have proudly served my nation in the army, in the Liberal Party, in defence industry, in parliament and in government,” she said.

“It is rare in politics to have the opportunity to choose the time and circumstances of your departure, and my decision has been made after considerable reflection of what is behind me and the opportunities that are now ahead of me.”
