My co-editor Stephen Tall is incredibly efficient. He’s off on holiday, but he managed to edit his post on where we are with candidates in our held and top target seats to include Dorothy Thornhill’s selection in Watford before he headed to the airport at some ridiculous hour of the night.
Dorothy is currently in her fourth term as Mayor of Watford, elected for the first time in 2002 and re-elected in 2006, 2010 and in May this year. She’s a former teacher.
Party President Tim Farron welcomed her selection on Twitter last night:
I’m over the moon that Watford #LibDems have selected @MayorDorothy as our PPC for 2015. She will be a brilliant MP and community champion.

Dorothy is a regular tweeter as @MayorDorothy.

Now their’s a surprise. Interesting that the medja constantly focus on LD losses in May, not on probable gains like this.
A Lib Dem who might win.
Because of who she is and her personal record.
Nothing else.
A worker and a winner.
Congratulations to Watford!
