McCune endorsed as candidate

The 33-year-old barrister, a long time member of the East Antrim Ulster Unionist Association, was endorsed this week by the joint Conservative and Ulster Unionist committee.

“I am absolutely delighted to have been selected to contest East Antrim at the forthcoming election. I have already received many warm messages of support and encouragement.

“I sense a growing momentum for change in East Antrim and I offer real change,” he commented.

“The growing momentum for change in East Antrim is born of a desire to see full-time, committed, local MPs making a difference at Westminster. The momentum for change is growing because people here want a direct say on our future national Government.”
