The House of Keys gained two fresh faces yesterday following the Peel and Glenfaba by-elections.
Ray Harmer secured the Peel seat, with Geoffrey Boot winning by a small margin in Glenfaba; both men were filling the seats left vacant following Tim Crookall and David Anderson's elevation into the legislative council.
Mr Boot's campaign website outlined his diverse career in business and aviation. He says helping to grow the economy is a key aspiration for him:
Mr Harmer has already served as a Peel commissioner; he told us the people of Peel have given him a clear mandate of what needs to happen in the town:
