"I will campaign in my own time," Cr Wreford said last week when confirming she had been chosen as the Liberal Party's candidate for the seat of Mordialloc.

Cr Wreford is the second Casey councillor to confirm state ambitions.

Cr Daniel Mulino recently said he would immediately quit the council if selected on April 19 as the Labor candidate for the outer eastern Liberal-held seat of Kilsyth as it wouldn't be fair to his constituents to stay on.

Cr Wreford said Cr Mulino was in a different position to her "as he has a very different job which demands a lot of his time".

"At the end of the day I may or may not get elected to State Parliament so in the meantime I will concentrate on my job as mayor, which is a job I love and relish.

"I have worked hard to represent the community and take on this role and I won't be neglecting my duties as mayor."

Cr Wreford would need a 3.6per cent swing to win the seat from sitting member Labor's Janice Munt.

Cr Kevin Bradford said it would be hypocritical for Cr Wreford not to stand down after accusing him of a conflict of interest when he worked for a state MP.

Speculation continued last week that Cr Geoff Ablett was considering taking on Labor's Jude Perera in Cranbourne as a Liberal candidate.
