The Lib Dems have selected Sarah Olney to run against Zac Goldsmith in the Richmond Park by-election.

Sarah, who joined the party in 2015, is an accountant who lives in the constituency with her family. Speaking about the by-election, she said:

“This by-election is a chance for people to have their say on Brexit, the NHS and Heathrow. Only a vote for the Liberal Democrats will make a stand against Heathrow and Brexit, not to mention the scandalous underfunding of the NHS.

“At the school gate or in Richmond Park you meet people who are really worried about their livelihoods with the Conservatives playing Russian roulette with the British economy. They are also fearful about pollution, noise and congestion resulting from Conservative plans for Heathrow.

“I am really grateful to the Liberal Democrats for showing such faith in me, and now I intend to do my absolute best for the people of this wonderful area.”
