Stewart and Danny are standing as the only cross-community representatives in East Antrim, focused on working for everyone to deliver a united, shared society for everyone in the constituency.
Stewart Dickson said: “I am proud and honoured to have been selected to stand again for the people of East Antrim and to continue the work that matters most to them.
“This election is an opportunity for the people of East Antrim to retain their two cross-community Alliance MLAs as part of a strong Alliance team in the Assembly. We need every progressive voter in East Antrim to send a message that we want to continue to build a shared society, and we will not stand for the politics of division pedalled by others. That is what Alliance is offering at this election.
“During my time in the Assembly, I have always focused on the issues that matter most to you. From tackling the cost of division and making life more affordable, to ensuring public money is spent better and delivers real, lasting benefits for our communities, businesses and environment. I am also proud of my work through the All-Party Group on Cancer, advocating for patients in East Antrim and beyond to ensure they receive the support, early diagnosis and treatment they need and deserve.
“In this election, every vote matters. Let’s work together to keep a strong Alliance team representing East Antrim and fighting for the future our communities deserve.”
Danny Donnelly said: “I am delighted to be standing again alongside my colleague and friend, Stewart, to represent the people of East Antrim.
“I want to continue working towards Alliance's positive, shared vision for East Antrim, delivering better public services and opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background. As Deputy Chair of the Health Committee, and as a nurse myself, I see all too often the pressures facing our health service and the impact these have on patients, families and staff. We urgently need meaningful reform to build a health service for everyone.
“I have also proudly worked alongside organisations advocating for equal rights for disabled people and will continue that work to create a society where people with disabilities can enjoy all aspects of life, free from barriers and discrimination.
“East Antrim deserves representatives who are prepared to work together to deliver real change – bringing people together rather than pushing people apart. Alliance is the only progressive, cross-community choice in this election, and we are determined to keep fighting for the better, more inclusive future our constituency deserves.”
