No interview or published statement by Reilly from the 2026 campaign was found. The detailed commitments in this record come from the April 2025 by-election, so it is an open question which ones carry into 2026. Two sources give different names for the film industry board role, Gender Equity in Media Society on Reilly's own site and Gender Equity in Film Society in Daily Hive's 2025 report, and which name is current could not be confirmed. The university degree rests on Daily Hive citing IMDb, which is a database that accepts submitted entries. Reilly has not held elected office, so there is no voting record. Health and family details published on the campaign pages are left out of this record. Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on September 22, 2026: Current campaign material; biographical claims require corroboration. Campaign page read on September 22, 2026. 2 stated positions and 2 background facts recorded here, each checked against a quotation from that page. Checks still to do: Verify professional roles and obtain policy details rather than using awards or personal medical history as evidence of competence. The ballot name, office, ballot number and party label come from the City's final candidate list. Everything described as campaign material is the campaign's own account and has not been confirmed by an independent source. 03 / Background ## Experience & community Current, start date not given ### First assistant director, feature films Reilly's own site describes work on and off set across the film industry, including acting, directing and producing, and names first assistant director as the current role.
