Labor senator and former NSW premier Kristina Keneally has confirmed she will nominate for pre-selection to run in a western Sydney lower house seat.
Senator Keneally will aim to replace retiring MP Chris Hayes in Fowler at the next federal election.
"Since Chris announced his retirement, I have been approached by ALP branch members urging me to consider nomination for the seat of Fowler," she said in a statement on Friday.
"I am humbled by this encouragement."
She said she aimed to serve as home affairs minister in an Albanese Labor government.
