Hamish George Campbell[1] (born 1979 or 1980)[2] is a New Zealand politician and Member of Parliament in the House of Representatives for the National Party.
He received a Bachelor's degree in genetics and a PhD in viruses and cancer from the University of Otago.
[5] On 30 October 2022, Campbell was selected to contest the neighbouring electorate of Ilam in the 2023 New Zealand general election, as former Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee decided to stand as a list-only candidate after losing the electorate in 2020.
[6] On the night of the election, Campbell had a 7,830 vote lead over his nearest opponent, Raf Manji of The Opportunities Party.
[7][8] Campbell identified youth offending as a cause of crime in Ilam, and something he would like to address once in parliament, along with the cost of living.
