Dan Rogerson Liberal Democrat MP for North Cornwall
Description
Dan spent all his early life in the constituency attending local schools. He now lives in Bodmin with his wife who is a local primary school teacher and their baby son.
He joined the Liberal Democrats while still at school to help fight for the election of Paul Tyler, who was Liberal Democrat MP for North Cornwall from 1992-2005. Dan then graduated from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth with a degree in politics including a work placement in Parliament with Paddy Ashdown, the then party leader. From 1996 until 2002 Dan worked in local Government and then for a University while fighting political campaigns in his spare time. He was elected a councilor in 1999, gaining a seat from Labour with a 27% swing. He then served as Deputy Group Leader of a council group and stood for parliament in 2001, increasing the Liberal Democrat vote by more than the national average.
Dan has built up a strong campaigning reputation and has fought Post Office closures, the unfair Council Tax and for better services in his native Cornwall. He has been a school governor and chairman of a community centre management committee.
