Rory Mooney, 25 May
Sinn Féin has confirmed councillor Sandra Duffy as the party’s Foyle
candidate for the upcoming Westminster election.
Announcing her candidacy, the former Mayor said she is determined to
‘lead positive and progressive change’ for everyone in the city.
Cllr Duffy said: “It is an honour to run as Sinn Féin’s candidate for
Foyle in the upcoming Westminster election on Thursday 4th July.
"This election is an opportunity to endorse strong leadership,
positive change and a commitment to work for all.
“I want to seize the huge opportunities available to us to create more
and better jobs, expand our university, and put Derry firmly on the map
as an exciting place to live, work and study.
“By working together, we can continue the positive transformation of
Derry, strengthen our local economy, boost tourism and help local
businesses to prosper.
“People have an opportunity to support better funding for our public
services, and to reject years of Tory cuts which have targeted workers
and families.
“I will work with everyone to keep moving forward towards a new and
better future for all our people and communities.”
Cllr Duffy now joins SDLP leader and current Foyle MP Colum Eastwood
and UUP councillor Janice Montgomery on the ballot.
