Paul Hartshorn tells us how running his own company has equipped him with the skills to become a parliamentary candidate
PAUL HARTSHORN AND GEOFF WELSH, CHAIR OF SOUTH LEICESTERSHIRE LIB DEMS
Businessman Paul Hartshorn has been selected to be the prospective parliamentary candidate for South Leicestershire by the constituency’s Liberal Democrats.
He’s the director of technical consulting business Mr H IT and this role has developed the skillsets that would be required of him in a parliamentary role, such as great listening and perception skills, logic and reasoning, persistence and determination, networking, negotiating, problem-solving and attention to detail.
Paul says: “South Leicestershire has been my home for my whole life and I am determined to be the champion our communities need. I will make standing up for local people on the issues that matter to them my top campaign priority.
“When I’m out and about, people tell me that they see our local councillors and activists working hard for them.
“I’ll be campaigning to challenge the government and its local representative not to scrap their ‘Net Zero by 2050’ pledge – something that would be catastrophic for our young people and our planet – as well as for better funding for local pupils, as South Leicestershire has the worst per-pupil school funding anywhere in the country. I’ll also be asking why our local Police force is one of the poorest funded in the country and why our NHS Trust is one of the worst performing nationally.
“But I know that only by working together can we achieve these goals, and I am committed to working with local people, councillors, businesses and other organisations to make it happen.”
He hopes other businesses will be in touch with their concerns about the local area. Contact him on paul@paulhartshorn.co.uk.
