Adrian Owens- Conservatives working for West Lancashire

ADRIAN OWENS - Conservative Parliamentary Spokesman, West Lancashire

Welcome

Welcome! Adrian Owens is the Conservative Parliamentary Spokesman for West Lancashire. He is campaigning to win the seat from Labour at the next general election.

Adrian was selected at a meeting in July 2007. The news editor of the local Ormskirk and Skelmersdale Advertisers said "Adrian Owens was a worthy winner - confident, articulate and polished. He was a man who looked most at ease and had the air of a professional politician - someone who could definitely give the Tories a fighting chance at the next election."
