First two candidates declare themselves for 2015 election

THE first two candidates to challenge Mark Pawsey for his job as Rugby MP have been named – two years ahead of the next general election.

Rugby Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) has selected its secretary Pete McLaren as its candidate for its first campaign.

And Labour has chosen borough councillor Claire Edwards as its challenger for the seat it lost in 2005.
