"We're your security, we are the ones that will really put through policies," Ms Hanson said.
"I've still got another three years, I'm not up for election this time. I'm pleased with the party, we've grown since my return in 2015 after 13 years out of it.
"I'm sure after this election, I'm quite confident that our numbers will continue to grow because the support we have received has been absolutely amazing.
"People are disgruntled as they feel they've been forgotten."
One Nation candidate, Charlie Fenton has been in the hotel business for 42 years.
"I live in High Range, so I'm local, I'm here. I've been talking to people in this community for a long time," Mr Fenton said.
"To have Pauline down here shows how united we are as a party.
"We are a solution-based party and we get the job done. We're sick and tired of being told what to do by governments and certainly by this government which has become extremely complacent.
"We need to make this a marginal seat to get money spent here. As opposed to the $810 million spent on a stadium up in Sydney.
"We need that money down here to fix that hospital, to build another school, open up TAFE, to keep our kids educated and a reason to stay in the area.
"Most leave for a job, we want our kids staying here.
"Bowral in 1989 had eight coffee shops, now there's 62 places. There was one vineyard, there's now 70.
"We've got the industry here, we just need more tourism down here. I'd like to get a chunk of that $150 million that Destination NSW spent and spend it promoting our area."
