Statement- Paul Kennedy For 30 years, I served in a wide variety of roles with Strathclyde Police Force, covering areas in Glasgow and West Dunbartonshire, and I now work as a mathematics teacher at a secondary school.

Full statement

The late Charles Kennedy, former leader of the Liberal Democrats, was instrumental in introducing me, his older cousin, to politics. Those experiences have shown me that elected office should be about public service and making a real difference to peoples' lives. That's exactly what Liberal Democrats believe too. We believe that everyone should have faster access to see their GP and have access to an NHS dentist. We believe that teachers and pupils should feel properly supported so that we can make our schools world-class again. We believe in protecting our beautiful natural environments by ending the scandal of sewage dumping. Above all, I want the people of West Dunbartonshire to feel represented again. A vote for a Liberal Democrat is a vote to make that happen.
