Whitmore will be candidate in the next General Election

SOCIAL Democrats Councillor Jennifer Whitmore has been selected to contest the next general election for the party in the Wicklow and East Carlow constituency.

Cllr Whitmore is a founding member of the Social Democrats and has represented the people of the Greystones Municipal District as a councillor since 2014. She is the party’s spokesperson for Children.

‘I’m really pleased and proud to have been selected to contest the next general election for the Social Democrats in Wicklow. I strongly believe that voters are looking for candidates who have integrity and vision, and who represent the values and issues they feel strongly about. I want to offer people a choice if they feel, like me, that change for the better is possible,’ said Cllr Whitmore.

‘Our communities face challenges in finding affordable housing and accessing decent health services, as well as education and childcare. The Social Democrats want to build a fair and decent society where everyone is able to achieve their potential.

‘I am committed to offering a vision for change to build a social democratic republic based on the values of fairness, equality, growth and sustainability.’

The party’s co-leaders, Deputy Róisin Shortall and Deputy Catherine Murphy joined Cllr Whitmore on a tour of the town of Bray last Friday morning to meet voters.
