Former Conservative leader and north Powys resident William Hague has given firm backing to Russell George in the upcoming Senedd election. For almost a decade, Montgomeryshire has been represented by Mr George, who Lord Hague of Richmond says, clearly puts his constituency before politics. We have an excellent candidate. He is really experienced, very hardworking, and very well-known in the area. He s been highly active in recent years, he said. For someone like me who has been living in the area for six years, it s very noticeable. We really need members of Senedd that really stick at it day after day, and that s Russell.
