I'm a Candidate!

I am now officially an independent candidate for the County Council elections on May 3rd! I handed in my nomination papers this morning at County Hall, they were validated and signed off by the Returning Officer. The Notice of Election was published yesterday and the deadline for handing in nominations is noon on the 4th April, the full list of candidates will be published on or before the 10th April. I will then know who I'm up against.

Well, I can't vote for you down to the small technicality of not living in the area. If I could though, I would. You're someone who actually seems to believe in political accountability...

I'll certainly second that and wish
I could vote for you too Jacqui

If you're elected, County Hall will become a much more interesting place. Two bolshy redheads! I hope the chair remembers his supply of valium.

Please make sure that you carry out a proper campaign. You could, I imagine, personally visit every home in your ward.

You are living in an old fashioned country area with a lot of people being resistant to change - dont focus on whats wrong with the council but make sure people know what your agenda for change may look like.Remember that most people dont read your blog ! its only politico saddos like me that do that.

Public meeting ? I dont know if this is a possibility - challenge the other candidates to a public meeting in village hall somewhere ? Try not to belittle opponenents (even though this may be tempting), thank them for service in the past but emphasise "time for change"

Good luck

Thanks for your comment. You are quite right of course, and number one priority, if elected, is to represent the people of this area to the best of my ability and that is what my campaign will be about.

Good luck and well done in your lengthy campaign where you have worked hard and more than proven yourself a very worthy candidate.If there were more like you who are truly independent more people would vote.Feet firmly on the ground and a woman of the real people.Pity my vote cant count but if it did it would be yours. I hope that your openess and hard work pays off.All due respect to you Jacqui.
