Lib Dems proud of young team
In an age when people say you can’t get young people to take an interest in politics, Lib Dems in Derwentside can boast three candidates aged under twenty in their team for the unitary county council elections.
Dominic Haney (left) said he wanted to ,”learn how to make politics work for the public, to have people engage with government, and ultimately “sex up” politics.” We are looking forward to Dominic ”sexing up” politics in Leadgate and Medomsley.
Natalie English (centre) is proud to have been a founder member of Derwentside’s Young People’s Forum and to have chaired it for three or four years. She will be the first young person to pass through it and stand for full election. She has also been a member of the Youth Parliament. I’m proud to have her standing alongside me in Consett North. I’m sure that between us we offer a wide understanding of the problems of both youth and (nearly) old age!
David Bowerbank has also been a member of the Youth Parliament and is relishing the challenge of standing for Tanfield in both the unitary county elections and the Stanley Town Council.
The Liberal Democrats may not yet be the largest party in Derwentside, but with a talented young team like this we can be confident of out-lasting the others.
have your say
