Richard Halsall standing in Douglas East
A Douglas East candidate in September's manx General Election says he wants to bring, 'informed, fact-based decision making' to Manx politics.
Richard Halsall works at the Wildlife Park as the collection manager.
He is standing as a candidate for the Manx Labour Party.
Speaking live on Mandate on Manx Radio this morning, Mr Halsall said he would like to use his experience in a field not normally associated with politics:

Peel bar impacted by bus strikes
Care funding reform report delayed following ministerial change
Charity plans baby loss memorial garden at Noble's Hospital
New rights for neonatal care leave and carer's leave on the way
Manx Wildlife Trust launches new internship programme
