Why I am standing for Parliament

by adamboyden on 16 February, 2015

Vote BoydenI am honoured to have been chosen as the Liberal Democrat candidate for Kingswood.

I have worked hard all my life including as a councillor in Frome for the past four years, and I hope this will be good experience when it comes to standing for Parliament. I am determined to make Government more open and transparent, democratic, fairer, greener and more responsive to the community’s needs rather than just a privileged few. I want to help people get on in life and help those in need, and improve the services that bind the community together, our NHS, schools, and public transport. I will campaign for a more sustainable and healthy environment and to combat climate change, for human rights, against discrimination, and to reform our Parliamentary democracy.

Having been offered the chance to stand up for what I believe in at a national level, near where I live and work, I discussed this with family and friends in Frome. Overwhelmingly people have supported my decision to go for it. But I also want to reassure residents that as well as campaigning in Kingswood, I will also still be working hard as a local councillor for Frome College ward at Mendip District and Frome Town Councils, and I hope you can see evidence of that from my continued work. Please do continue to contact me with any concerns you have.

I am looking forward to working on the campaign. Please see http://kingswoodlibdems.org/ for further updates on the Kingswood campaign, and http://www.libdems.org.uk/adam_boyden for a bit more about me!
