A candidate in next week’s South Douglas by-election says she’d try to divide her time equally between constituency and national matters.
Amy Burns faces Kurt Buchholz, Keith Fitton, and Bill Malarkey in a four-way contest for the seat left vacant by David Cretney.
Amy, who describes herself as a homemaker, says her emphasis would be on bringing more money into government rather than finding things to cut back on.
But she says her constituents’ demands would come first:
Ministers 'must hold chief officers to account' over budgeting
Treasury minister faces questions about contingency funds and spending in Tynwald
Over 200 vehicles stopped during Operation Uplift
Five motorists were arrested for drink or drug driving
Tynwald backs first annual update on Autism Strategy
But concerns raised over funding, assessments and lived experience
Tynwald rejects call for new committee to review financial and eGaming regulation
Members instead back a government-framed statement emphasising confidence, stability and readiness for next year’s MONEYVAL assessment.
