David Risstrom is a Melbourne barrister, a former Melbourne city councillor, and a former Australian Greens candidate for the Australian Senate from Victoria. Risstrom has First Class degrees in Science and Arts, served as a barrister for nine years since graduating from Law at ANU, was elected in 1999 as a Melbourne City Councillor, and ran for the Australian Senate in Victoria as an Australian Green in 2004. Risstrom polled more than two hundred and sixty thousand votes and may have been elected but for the Australian Democrats and Australian Labor Party's decision to preference the Family First Party's candidate Steve Fielding - who subsequently defeated Risstrom on preferences despite polling fewer primary votes[1].

David Risstrom will nominate for pre-selection as the Victorian Greens Senate candidate in 2007.
