Richard Halsall standing in Douglas East
A Douglas East candidate in September's manx General Election says he wants to bring, 'informed, fact-based decision making' to Manx politics.
Richard Halsall works at the Wildlife Park as the collection manager.
He is standing as a candidate for the Manx Labour Party.
Speaking live on Mandate on Manx Radio this morning, Mr Halsall said he would like to use his experience in a field not normally associated with politics:
Victoria Road reopens following fire at unoccupied property
Public asked to avoid area while emergency services continue their work
Eating disorders 'more common than people realise' on the Isle of Man
Charity launching new support group for parents and carers of those navigating eating disorders
Warning about effects of nicotine pouches on youngsters
Social media sees products rise in popularity
Mineral deposits 'worth exploring but possibly not large enough for commercial success'
