“The election next year will be an opportunity for the public to give their verdict on the representation they have had from all Assembly members.

“Being from Mid Ulster I know the problems facing rural communities.

“My offices in Cookstown and Maghera are open to all constituents.

“I have provided help and representation for the local community on a wide number of issues including planning, benefits advice, access to health services, and difficulties connected to the economic crisis.

“I am proud to have served the people of Mid Ulster. If re-elected I will continue to provide that service to the best of my ability.”
