North Douglas MHK says it's time to face hardships
It was second time lucky for David Ashford in Douglas North on Thursday.
He fought back after losing a by-election in the constituency last year to edge out defending member John Houghton and top the polls.
He'll now work alongside the man who beat him in that by-election - Ralph Peake - in the House of Keys.
Mr Ashford says he's under no illusion as to the difficulties facing the Island:
Top 20 Manx Care earners have combined salary of £7.1m
Figures published by healthcare provider
Isle of Man 'a success story' compared to 1980s
Historian reflects on growth of Island's finance sector
Application for fibre poles in Ramsey estate refused
Planning permissions turned down following concerns over impact of poles
Government publishes updated insurance sector money laundering risk assessment
Insurance industry is the largest financial services sector in the Isle of Man
