Local Campaigner Jackie Pearcey Announced as Liberal Democrat Candidate for Gorton and Denton

30 Jan 2026

EMBARGO: Immediate release 

Local Campaigner Jackie Pearcey has been selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for Gorton and Denton in the upcoming by-election, pledging to champion local issues that matter most to residents, including fixing the NHS and tackling the cost of living.

Jackie has lived locally for decades and has a strong track record of standing up for and serving the community. She is determined to bring real change for the residents of Gorton and Denton who deserve so much better than this endless soap opera.

The Labour government promised change, but is delivering the same old chaos as the Conservatives; too busy fighting for the keys to Number 10 instead of fixing the NHS or tackling the cost of living.

People in Gorton and Denton and across the country deserve so much better than this.

Commenting on her selection, Jackie Pearcey said:

“I’m thrilled to have been selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the constituency where I live. Voters in Gorton and Denton deserve so much more than the failing Labour government or the divisive politics of Reform UK.

“We have a golden opportunity to champion the issues that matter most to people - the cost of living, fixing the NHS and supporting our local high streets and businesses. I’ve got a proven track record of delivering for residents and I’ll continue to fight for the people of Gorton and Denton through this election and beyond.”
