Brentford & Isleworth Liberal Democrats have selected Joe Bourke as their candidate for the General Election on 7th May 2015.

Joe previously stood for the Liberal Democrats in the 2010 and 2014 council elections in the Brentford Ward.

Following his selection Joe said, "It is a great honour to be given the privilege of representing the Liberal Democrat Party in the General Election campaign. I look forward to meeting and getting feedback from my fellow residents  across this half of Hounslow Borough."

Joe adds, "the Liberal Democrats have paid a price for acting in the national interest by entering into Coalition following the last General Election, but the sacrifice has been worth it. Liberal Democrat ministers in government have taken millions of low earners out of paying tax altogether, brought back real apprenticeships that train young people in needed trades, and put much needed money into early years education."

Vice-Chair of Hounslow Liberal Democrats, Carl Pierce, said, "we look forward to working with Joe  as we challenge the stale local Labour and Conservative parties. We hope that local residents will engage in political debate and find out more about our policies."

Joe is a Chartered Certified accountant running a practice in Hanwell and a part-time Accountancy and Finance lecturer at the University of West London. He can be contacted at joe@hounslowlibdems.org.uk
