Politics
The seat of Currumbin became vacant due to the resignation of Jann Stuckey.[2] Gerber was announced as the Liberal National Party candidate for Currumbin on 28 January 2020 by Leader of the Opposition Deb Frecklington.[3] Stuckey complained that local party members had been denied a vote, reflecting a determination for the seat to be contested by "a skirt".[4] Gerber won the seat in the 2020 Currumbin state by-election.
