Kate O’Kelly

Liberal Democrat

‘I am a former GP and a Liberal Democrat councillor on both the county and district councils.

‘I successfully reduced the cuts to local bus services, and am now fighting to prevent the closure of three local schools.

“I have also been campaigning to Stop Brexit as the impact, would be disastrous for the area.

‘This election will be a close battle between myself and the current MP. I’ve already won the current MP’s old district council seat and now I hold it with 75 per cent of the vote. This demonstrates how popular she was. As an MP she has sat on the fence on every issue from Brexit to the A27. The people of this area need a Liberal Democrat MP with the courage of their convictions. They want someone who will go into battle for them.

‘The recent local and European elections showed people no longer trust the two old parties. They have put their faith in the Liberal Democrats to make a difference. It’s time for electors to have a real alternative to the current chaos, complacency and confusion.’
