Matthew Harris, Lib Dem Prospective Parliamentary candidate for Hendon

Matthew Harris has been selected as the Liberal Democrat Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Hendon and will fight the seat at the next General Election.

Matthew, aged 38, works in public relations and is Secretary of Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel, campaigning for a just two-state solution. He grew up in Hampstead Garden Suburb and went to school at Christ's College, Finchley, before graduating from Oxford University in 1993. Matthew has always lived in locally and now lives in New Barnet. He works closely with the Mill Hill Liberal Democrat councillors and has also campaigned in Burnt Oak, Hale and the Hendon Central area.

Matthew said: "I am delighted to have been selected to fight Hendon for the Liberal Democrats. I was first a party member in the old "Hendon South" constituency, so this feels like coming home. I grew up with Hendon as my local library and have always known the area well, so it is great to be standing here now.

"The Liberal Democrats' judgement has been proved right on the Iraq War, the credit crunch and the need to reform Parliament.
