Well known Clarence Alderman James Walker was this afternoon endorsed by the State Executive of the Liberal Party to join the Franklin Liberal Team.

James lives in Lindisfarne and is a podiatrist by profession.

He has been an Alderman on Clarence City Council since 2012.

I warmly welcome Mr Walker to our team, joining our existing Franklin Liberal candidates Jacquie Petrusma MP, Nic Street MP, Bec Enders, and Dean Young.

Mr Walker’s addition to the Franklin team follows the withdrawal earlier of Dean Ewington from his candidacy to run in the state election.

I would like to thank Mr Ewington. He is entitled to his personal views and I genuinely wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
