Liberal Democrats select candidate for Sutton Junction & Harlow Wood By-Election
Last week the former Labour Councillor for Sutton Junction & Harlow Wood ward of Ashfield District Council resigned forcing a by-election to take place on Wednesday 12th December 2018. When this seat was fought in 2016 the Liberal Democrats narrowly missed out on winning the seat by only 6 votes!
I am pleased to announce that, following a meeting of the Executive Committee, Martin Howes has been selected as the Liberal Democrats’ candidate for this election.
On his selection Martin says
“This is a time of great uncertainty in British politics. I am proud of our Lib Dem policies. I am very pleased to represent the Liberal Democrats in this by-election. If elected, I will work tirelessly.”
Our acting chair Andy Rimmer would like to offer his thanks on behalf of the party to those that expressed an interest in being our candidate, and to wish Martin luck in the upcoming election.
You can find more details on Martin here.
We will be starting our campaign this weekend with door knocking to get nomination signatures and drawing up a fuller campaign plan. If you are able to offer your support in time or money please get in touch with Martin’s agent for this election James Harvey on james.harvey@mansfieldandashfieldlibdems.org.uk.
