The Liberal Democrats have announced their candidate for the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election: Jackie Pearcey. Pearcey, a long-time resident, expressed her excitement about the nomination, criticizing the current political landscape and emphasizing the need for a fresh approach. With a background in nuclear physics and a history of community activism, including efforts to preserve local landmarks, Pearcey aims to address pressing issues like the cost of living, healthcare, and local business support. She promises to advocate for the residents of Gorton and Denton, drawing on her experience as a governor at Oasis Academy Aspinal for over two decades. The by-election, scheduled for February 26th, was triggered by the resignation of Andrew Gwynne. Pearcey's campaign focuses on delivering tangible results for the community, and she invites residents to stay informed about the full list of candidates, which will be updated as more names are confirmed. The Liberal Democrats encourage residents to share their stories and ideas for Greater Manchester's future, fostering an inclusive and engaged community.
