Excellent news as Jenny Woods selected as a Lib Dem Prospective Parliamentary candidate

When it comes to civil liberties and the internet, Jenny Woods is regularly a well informed and liberal source of expertise within the party.

Her track record therefore makes this news very welcome:

Liberal Democrats have chosen Dr Jenny Woods as their Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Reading East. She was selected following a meeting of local party members this week.

Jenny has campaigned locally on issues of importance to residents in Reading and Woodley, such as transport, education and provision of leisure facilities. Nationally, she has a high profile in civil liberties campaigning, particularly around online communications, where she was part of the Lib Dem team that successfully threw out the “Snoopers’ Charter.”

Jenny lives in the heart of Reading East. A scientist by profession, she works in the university sector connecting policy-makers with academic researchers. She also coordinates a national network of scientists tackling the global problems faced by society, like sustainability and health.

Jenny Woods, Reading East PPC said, “For me, being involved in politics is all about helping people make the changes that are needed to improve their lives. I’m proud to stand here in Reading East, fighting for the Liberal Democrat values of freedom, fairness and equality, and working to improve our community by putting power into the hands of local people.”
