SNP’s Loudon challenges Labour by-election candidate to TV debate
by The SNP by-election candidate for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, Katy Loudon, has challenged the Labour candidate, David Russell, to a TV debate in order “to ensure local people can raise the issues that matter most to them.”
Katy has said local voters deserve to hear directly from candidates on their principles, policies, and values.
The Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election will take place on Thursday 5th June.
Issuing her challenge Katy Loudon said:
“Voters in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse should be able to raise the issues that matter most to them and hear directly from the candidates vying to be their MSP about their principles, policies, and values.
“I am proud to represent the SNP’s record – free prescriptions, free tuition and scrapping peak rail fares for commuters.
“Labour needs to be held to account for the decisions they have made in government – scrapping heating support for pensioners, cutting support for disabled people, and locally, axing school bus provision from school kids.
“I am ready to debate these issues on television in front of an audience of local voters. Is Labour’s David Russell?”
