Craig Duncan selected as Scottish Liberal Democrat Dundee City East choice

The Scottish Liberal Democrats have announced that Craig Duncan has been selected as the LibDem candidate for Dundee City East at this May's Scottish Parliamentary Election.

Craig has strong roots in the local area, having been born in Dundee and schooled at primary level in Dundee and Monifieth and at secondary level in Carnoustie. In addition, he holds an honours degree in Government and Modern History from Heriot-Watt University.

Although Craig has had a life long interest in politics, history and social affairs, he is no "straight from university career politician" but has lived and worked at a variety of jobs in Edinburgh, London and Dundee, ranging from professional posts to temporary jobs. He now runs his own local business in Dundee and is very active in both local politics and charitable work in the city.

On his selection as Dundee City East candidate, Mr Duncan said, "As a local resident, I intend to provide a strong local voice for Dundee, standing up for local people and I look forward to the campaign ahead."
