David Stephen Dresser

Reform UK candidate for Killingbeck & Seacroft

Reform UK

Born and lived in Leeds most of my life and my family have been in Leeds since the 1890’s. Work & Education Solicitor and Photographer, MA in International Studies specialising in the Middle East, Islamic Radicalism and the Cold War, Leeds University. LLM in Commercial Intellectual Property Law, Nottingham Trent Why Reform UK I have been active in local politics for over 30 years with both Labour and the Liberal Democrats. I have concluded that only a shift to Reform will save the country from failed Tory and Labour policies. What Leeds needs I have been advocating a mass transit system for Leeds based on a Monorail that will catapult the profile of the city worldwide also we need an upgrade to the Airport without delay for the future prosperity of the city.
