Campaigns

The campaign for this year's elections for the Northern Ireland Assembly is nearly over. Voting takes place on Tuesday 6th Match.

The first photo has me campaigning in Bangor Main Street with James Leslie, our Assembly candidate for North Down.

The next two photos show me in previous campaigns. The first is in the General Election campaign in 2005. It was a cold day!

The next is campaigning with our candidate in the local council elections, Dean Russell. The weather was kinder and Spring had arrived.
