I launched my Election Campaign on the Friday 31st January in Judge Roy Beans Newbridge as a candidate for Newbridge Kildare Municipal Council Election on 23th May 2014.
My track record is what I fall back on. I've spent my political career serving the community. One thousand voters in the Newbridge Town and almost two thousand voters in the Kildare Area of the County Council placed their trust in me by giving their No1 vote in the last local election in 2009. Just lost out by less than 1000 votes in 2011 General Election.
I have been Chairman of nine committee's and boards and Deputy Chair of two and am a member of twenty nine different Committee's. I am a Town Councillor for ten years and a County Councillor for the past five years.
I don't fail my supporters. No matter what the problem is, let it be big or small. If I am new to you just ask and I am confident that people will vouch for my work ethic. I will if elected work hard on behalf of every resident in the new Newbridge Kildare Municipal Council regardless of who they vote for or where they live. I am asking you for your No 1 to allow me to represent you in this a time of massive change and I will make sure you will get the benefit these new Municipal Council will bring.
I promise to use the new powers that the new Municipal Councils will be given to make sure all our community groups are given the funds they badly need to continue their hard work on behalf our residents. I will be thinking outside the box and not always blaming lack of funds for not getting projects completed.
I could dwell on the abolishing of Town Councils but instead I am now studying the new power that the new Council are given and I will make sure I am ready if elected to implement and work hard on delivering on all the benefits that these new powers will bring from day one of the Municipal Council. It is most important that whoever is elected must be informed on all the new power that the new Municipal Councils will bring and be ready to implement the new powers. New or previous Councillors elected must have a proven record of working hard for their community and families and a promise to continue to do so. They must not be one issue candidate and also work hard with all other elected representatives as you get nothing done without the support of others no matter what job you are in.
