Jo Crotty

South Staffordshire Liberal Democrats, have selected Dr. Jo Crotty to stand in the delayed General Election to take place on 23 June. The General Election in South Staffordshire had to be delayed due to the sad death of Jo Harrison who was the Liberal Democrat candidate.

Dr. Jo Crotty lives in Staffordshire and is a lecturer at Aston University. Jo joined the party after a long career in single issue campaigning. For more than 10 years she had, and continues to campaign for, the cancellation of 3rd world debt, trade justice, and environmental protection. Inspired by the Party's collective philosophy of social justice, environmental sustainability and equality of opportunity, she became involved in the Party following the decision of the current government to take the country to war in Iraq; a decision that she actively opposed.
